Included in this garden were Bobo, Little Lamb, Little Lime, Incrediball, Quick Fire, Pinky Winky, Mega Mindy, Limelight and Firelight and ?--I am blanking on another variety or two. They are all Proven Winners hydrangeas. The macrophyllas just don't make it here and we have never sold any. They grow but never seem to flower and that kind of performance means we would be spending too much time explaining the problems with them. Actually, we already spend a lot of time explaining to people who made purchases elsewhere and are not pleased. Sometimes "good" marketing for a mass grower can be positive in terms of sales and negative in terms of customer dissatisfaction. We like to be remembered for successes!<br />vermontflowerfarm@outlook.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03923885023694355932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25658935.post-88462953546862884282016-10-22T22:03:58.050-04:002016-10-22T22:03:58.050-04:00I would be interested in seeing the list of hydran...I would be interested in seeing the list of hydrangeas that were planted. Did you plant one of each kind? Or several specimens of a few kinds? Did you include any macrophyllas, or all they all aborescens and paniculatas? Peering into the photo, it looks like they were all from Proven Winners, yes?Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11106962533729909868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25658935.post-76721084383167661542016-10-22T10:38:52.832-04:002016-10-22T10:38:52.832-04:00love this post, for several reasons. great to read...love this post, for several reasons. great to read about/see a grower's process more from the beginning instead of just the sparkly part at the ready-for-sale end. and your comments about employees and working with them, young and older, at various skill levels, reveal you are a good steward/shepherd of people as well as the land. thanks for sharing - you're near the top of my bucket list for summer trips now that i'm retired. --suz in ohiosuzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08123352023812106780noreply@blogger.com
