Hi, I see you live in Kansas City too:) Could you possibly have room under your wing for serenasyh? I know she'd appreciate your know how. You may even be her neighbor:)

I asked Sandy this exact question the other day. She said the strongest genetic is the plain pink. So if you had a seedpod from a plain pink they will prob all be pink. There is a small chance that your pink plant might have been the result of a seed from a seedpod from a a different colour plant (a white for example) and so by genetic background you may get some white flowered seedlings. Also If you had a seedpod from a purple or a red then some seedlings may be purple or red but the majority would still be pink. She said in some cases though she has got a seed pod from a yellow and all have turned out pink :/ Hope that made sense. :P Sarah

Hi angelainohio. You've helped me before! That information on changing hydrangea color was very informative, and very saddening. Well, I guess it's not easy to turn my Nikko blue without quite a bit of effort. I'm still going to try. I took the ES back to the garden store and ammended the soil about two feet further away from the house. Which, by the way, is brick so it leaches lime; hence making it even more difficult to change him blue. I used peat, manuer, and garden soil mixed with my beautiful clay(HA). Now today it is about 80 degrees and my boy is not drooping! HMMMM. Was he too close to the house (about 2 feet away). Maybe the heat off the brick baked him too much. I don't think the soil change could have affected the plant so soon (one day?)_ Well, what ever the case, so far so good. Now (hopefully) I can focus on the color. I had heard manuer (SPElling?) helped to change the color blue. Have you heard such a thing? Carolet

Fran, your Bold Ms. Piggy is breathtaking, and so are all your other MG's! :) Mine are really doing well this year also. You have m any of the one's I have. The Wisteria Tyedye is just waiting to burst open, one did already, but it didn't open completely. Wish I could work this photo bucket. :) Arum
