My pal !!!! Such pretty colors. 😍

So pretty. 🥰

You’re back 😀👍🏼🌞

Hello stranger! I hope you're doing alright. I'd been away for a while too at the back end of last year. Just back home today from 4 weeks away.

Welcome back

@gjones think this is how it got its name 🍫 #hydrangea #hydrangea-hot-chocolate #foliagefriday

Matching nail polish too!

Great colour…nails & foliage!

What a lovely colour contrast 😍

@Davidward and I didn’t even try to match this time 😛😂

@gjones you’re very welcome. Just a shame you never really see the colour 😐

@italydiva thanks Angela 😁 always nice when they match up 😉

@topiarytragedy thank you Lucy ☺️

Jaw dropping beautiful!

@Davidward @gjones @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom @ShelleySnyder @crabby58 @jmlincoln thank you so much 😀 it’s my absolute favourite hydrangea. The colours are too pretty 💜🧡 (the flowers are much more peachy than they look in the photo)

My pleasure!💘😍

@gjones absolutely I will 😁 I think the name comes from the leaves. I’ll take photos and post tomorrow 🤎💜🧡

Favourite! Hydrangea! Ever!!! #hydrangea #hydrangea-hot-chocolate

W💗W, that's gorgeous💟

That's a beauty 😍

This one is so beautiful. Love the colours Kerry. Perfection 🥰🥰

Loving the peach….why do they call that hot chocolate….it’s like the rose with the same name 🤷🏼‍♀️

Wowzers! That's incredible!!💘😍

I can see why 😍😍😍

That is lovely Kerry 🤩

It's amazing 🤩👍

Whoaa! Very cool! Lovin everything about this! The shape of the pink flowers make me think of childhood dress up jewelry 🥰

@crabby58 thanks Thelma ☺️

@nej thank you Nej 😊

It’s going to flower 🥳 #hydrangea #hydrangea-hot-chocolate

Love the name. Anxious to see what it looks like. Have not seen this one. You have the most awesome flowers and shrubs. So unique and stunning 👍😍😍😍😍

@hkyfvr great isn’t it 😛 I think the name is because the underside of the leaves are brown. The flowers are supposed to be purpleish 💜🤎

@gjones it’s one I’ve always wanted 😍 the leaves give it its name but I always forget to take a photo of them 🤦🏻‍♀️

That sounds so awesome. Can’t wait to see it in bloom 🤎

That's a new one! Sounds fun 😊 Let's see what color your flowers decide to be 🤪

@jmlincoln there’s no telling this year 🤣😂

Cataloging. #hydrangea #hydrangea-hot-chocolate

What color and type of flower is this one Kerry?💘😍

@ShelleySnyder it’s a lilac/pink flower, lacecap I think. It’s so pretty, been on my wish list for ages 😜

@cyndi if only it smelled of chocolate 🤤 the flowers are gorgeous aren’t they! Foliage is interesting too, different to any other hydrangea I have

Love the name! Oh my it's going to be a real beauty! I was curious because years ago I had one that had the same kind of leaf, big dark green and fuzzy, the underside was a brownish, mine was also a lace cap but it dark medium and light blue, it just became way to large to manage so we had to get rid of it. But it really was a stunner!💘😍

Just looked this one up. Can't wait to see it in all its glory next year 👍

@ShelleySnyder I remember you saying about your old hydrangea. Sounded like a beautiful beast! 😍 this one is described as having blue flowers so could possibly be the same variety 🤔

@jeatacake isn’t it gorgeous 😍 been wanting one for a long time but always find something else to get 😂 will take pride of place in the front garden 😁

Rightly so 👍
