Watching the glow of
flickering fireflies at twilight
love lingers all the more
in a garden colored by hydrangeas.
...Fujiwara Leyoshi
(a Japanese poem)
My neighbor gave me a hydrangea plant in May for my birthday. My husband bought me two more and planted all three in our garden. The count is now three purple/blue and two pink hydrangeas.
Unfortunately, we do not have fireflies in California but I have seen them in Kansas...as a child, they were magical in the summertime.
