Bloody Marvellous - Raspberry Crush...

We have had a day of much needed rain so when there was a short break between showers I ducked out and picked some Hydrangea's for the vase .. this is one of my favourites .. and it has the great name of 'Bloody Marvellous' but another nursery calls it Raspberry Crush... but I stick with the former as the flowers are such a great colour .. it keeps it colour for some time and it's leaves are very dark and lush and even get a great colour in the autumn ..
Thought I would team it up with some of my 'heart' collection ... Maggie @maggiemae you may recognise the Oamaru stone hearts...
Lets hope the rain keeps on coming ...
