This is about life in my gardens. One is an acre on a hillside in Laguna Beach, California and the other is an acre in San Juan Capistrano, California.

Pink in the Blue and White Garden
This is one of my favorite places in the Laguna garden. It is a shade garden that is the entry to the lower garden and it originally was only supposed to have blue and white flowers. If I have learned anything from gardening all these years it is to be flexible when things don't go as planned. Obviously I didn't get around to adding acidic materials to the hydrangeas which were originally blue and they have now reverted to a lovely shade of magenta. Our soil and water is on the alkaline side and acid loving plants need special attention. Or you can just let them do whatever they want!
