My hydrangeas looked glorious in the Summer of 2011, but, with the extreme heat wave and drought are now very sad and droopy.

Oh my, what a shame, Don. The comparison is striking. I hope and pray the drought ends soon for you and all those suffering from the current weather situation. You DID do a great job photographing these flowers and making the comparison!!!

The extreme heat can be very hard on plants, people and pets...We saw a gray squirrel dig a hole in the dirt and he laid down down iinside of it to keep cool today..I It felt like it was close to 100 degrees and very muggy. I can see a big difference in your hydeangeas from last year...Wow!

Yes, the heat is a killer this year. I keep a soaker hose on mine for most of the week. lol, It's probably costing me a fortune to keep the pretty this year.

This is a fantastic comparison shot of your beautiful hydrangeas, sad as it is to see the one struggling this year. I nearly lost my cross vine last summer so it got extra watering through our drought last year and that just kept it alive, it did not bloom for all summer. Now it is doing better, it can take the heat much better since it is established in the ground now but it still does not bloom on the wretched hot days.

Outstanding photo !!
Nobody shoots these floral shots better.
It's hot and bone dry here too.
It's a real job keeping enough water on the plants to get them through these hot days -

I am managing to keep a lot of my flowers looking nice,but not all of them. I may have to take out a loan to pay my water billl!

Hope the heat dissipates a little so the flowers can flourish. You did have a great show of hydrangea blooms last year, Don.

So sad. They don't like ANY sun. My neighbor's blue one is always in the shade, and it looks beautiful.
