💙 A little bit of summer, with autumn just around the corner… 🍂
My lovely husband brought me home these absolutely gorgeous, vivid blue hydrangeas and they’ve instantly brightened up the room. 💙
There’s something about hydrangeas that makes me think of this lovely in-between season — when summer isn’t quite ready to leave, but you can just feel autumn on its way. 🍁
And if you’re lucky enough to have hydrangeas in your garden, here’s a little tip to help them last when you cut them:
🌿 Submerge the stems in water for around 20 minutes (or longer if you can).
✂️ Cut the stems quite generously.
🔨 Give the ends a good split and bash — it sounds a bit brutal, but it really does seem to help! 😂
💧 Then pop them straight into your vase.
And if you’re thinking about selling your home, don’t forget the simple power of fresh flowers. 🌸
They add colour, life and that lovely feeling of a home being cared for — and sometimes it’s those little touches that make all the difference when someone walks through the door. 🏡✨
Now excuse me while I enjoy my gorgeous blue blooms for as long as I can! 💙
