My #annabelle #hydrangea before the storm and rain made it collapse. All tied and staked up now though but not looking as good as this 🙄 #white #summer

<3

Beautiful Justin, has your garden suffered the same fate as mine then🤔

@justin Still big 'bloomers' though even after the rain😂😂

Yes unfortunately Ann 🙄 @thomasrat3

Aww what a shame @Justin she's 😍

Hey ho @titchyfra

Ah it's such a shame. We have a deluge of rain coming so I'm expecting similar. So frustrating but us gardeners have resolve & do what we can to keep our gardens beautiful 😊👍🏻

This one is now held up by six pea sticks in a frame combo with the back branches tied to the fence! Hopefully will be ok now 👍 @ellenmarygardening

One of my favourites

👍 @BabsB

Gorgeous! Love hydrangeas 💜

Who says size doesn't matter 😳😂😋and my hands are BIG 🙈 #white #hydrangea #annabelle #summer

@justin.. Blimey fella that's a handful 👋👋

Sure is @stephent

@justin could take your breath away that fella

Would look lovely in a flower arrangement @justin if you could bare to cut it

I have three of these in the garden and they were all quite damaged by the recent storms so yesterday I did cut a few flowerbeds to ease the strain in the branches and they're now in my dining room. They are wonderful ☺️👍 @christineb

A vision of beauty 💕💕

🙌 @tisha

Wow superb 😍

🙈👍 @Keely

Awwww they are beautiful Justin 🌞

Thank you @lotusflower

Good morning GTers 👋 after marvelling at my #hydrangea #annabelle last night and thinking how wonderful all the flowers looked, I've had the most amazing thunderstorm and torrential rain all night which has left this plant now horizontal 😩 am going to havent interbank stake it somehow when the rain stops and if I get home from work in time

#white #summer

@Justin #washout #whatsummer 😂😂

😏😠😩😭 @drnicko

Morning all dont you just love mother nature 😠😠

Mmmm 😩 my garden is so waterlogged everything is now suffering its ridiculous 😔 @Keely good morning

😢 Morning Justin! I'm sure Annabelle will recover once dried out, she's a resilient girl. It's so disheartening though when your treasures suffer. What's the forecast for today? It's grey here at the moment, we had rain all morning yesterday but the sun did make an appearance after lunch. I'm off out for a run so pleased it's dry so far! 👟👟

I really hope so... Enjoy your run! Still raining here unfortunately and set to continue 😕 hey ho. Onwards and upwards @tash74 👍

Bonjour Justin, 🤐 😉 have a great day 👍 poor Annabelle, don't you have hair dry she use! 😂

😂😂😂 👉😶 😂 @lamaisonbleueoleron

Sorry 🙈😎

Morning 🤓 do hope the lovely Annabelle recovers. Typical British summer huh 🤔

Here come the Annabelle's 👊 #hydrangea #annabelle #summer

Oh lovely, thought it was a tee at first glance 😀

That's a great picture Justin thought it was a painting at first🤗

This is beautiful .I like the lace pattern of the leaves ☘

Great angle.

@Justin It's like a surreal tree out of a J K Rowling Harry Potter film😂😂Very beautiful👌🏻

Fabulous image Justin! I love an unusual viewpoint!

Thank you very much everyone ☺️ @angipangi @godfreye @Song @noreen @geoffboston

That's lovely against the sky 💙

☺️🙌 @bigemrg

Thank you @lovemygarden65

Fantastic pic 💕

A promise of things to come #newgrowth #spring #hydrangea Good morning GTers 👋

Good morning Justin!! Plenty of new growth in my garden after summer rains.

Good to hear 👍 @brightcolours

Oh me too. People must think I'm mental as I check the gardens progress each day and talk to all the plants! Usually with one of the cats on tow who follows me around!! 😳😂 @latebloomer

Oh the anticipation 😊

Are the buds of May now appearing early with climate change😊? Lovely to see good omen for Summer.

Definitely... Love Springtime!! @nej

Spring time in the UK is ace 😬 @errolly

Justin I was there last Spring looking at gardens.

👌🏻😊mine are doing the same @justin

Good to hear 👍 @kathy

All mine have survived

Not long now till I can lop the old heads off! Still love them like this though 👍

👍 @latebloomer

We don't get the same result in Oz, the leaves just rot......:(

Morning Justin , morning all, just pruned mine at the weekend some lovely new growth coming 🙌🏻🙌🏻

That's a shame Judy. They really add interest over winter to what is otherwise a pretty desolate garden!! @judyarmstrong

Yes will definitely be time to do all mine very soon!! Good morning @juliesgarden

Morning everyone wasn't sure when to cut the heads off @justin a job for me then at my Mums this weekend

Good luck with that 😷 @janric

Yes me too 👍 @debs69

#autumn

#hydrangea

#white #macro

This almost doesnt look real! Incredible!

Amazing. You take such wonderful photos.

I just bought and planted one of these. At the moment the flower heads need loads of support. Is this always the case or do they the stalks get stronger?

Mine have been in two years and one of the plants stands very erect and is strong. The other two are a mass of flowers and the heads are very large so inevitably end up dropping so to avoid I would stake @David

Thanks @justin 🙏🏼

#hydrangea

#white

Possibly my favourite plant of the summer yet

That's a really cool perspective @justin

The upward shot? @thedanielrichards

Yes @justin
