Over 340 striking color photos introduce readers to the
quintessential flower of the Cape and the Islands, the hydrangea.
The lucky people who live in the region revel in these lush flowers
flourishing in a maritime climate. Residents and visitors alike
enjoy the beautiful displays of hydrangeas in home gardens, outside
restaurants and inns, and especially in waterfront areas, where
hydrangeas thrive in the sea air. Blue blooms predominate, their
naturally cheerful colors echoing the blue of the sea and the sky.
Regional gardeners also delight in creating tapestries of color in
shades of pink, purple, and blue. This book captures the beauty of
hydrangeas and their wide range of uses, both outdoors and indoors,
including their frequent appearance in wedding bouquets. From the
lacy white flowers of climbing hydrangeas in early spring to the
rich burgundy blooms of late fall, hydrangeas bring accents of
beauty throughout the growing season.
