Yes, I know that about hydrangeas, and would like blue; last year it was pinkish. I wonder whether, if I put it on now (in a week or so?) it would have any color effect? I won't worry about it, this first year.

Here is my camellia, which bloomed a few weeks ago, much to my surprise and delight! As I've only been here since September, I didn't know what it was! (I did recognize the hydrangea, of course. Had bloomed and was still flowering when I arrived.)

Thanks. I suspect the camellia, above, doesn't need any help, elleng May 2014 #6

oh, that baby needs a pruning. did your friend recommend an organic fertilizer brand? bettyellen May 2014 #9

No, she didn't mention a brand. elleng May 2014 #10

I gotcha. I use the basic shake on slow release. It is hard to over do it, and is shelf stable. bettyellen May 2014 #11

I pruned her, elleng May 2014 #12
