Good Reason for Not Cutting My Oak Leaf Hydrangea

About 5 years ago these cuttings came from my  small patch near the (outdoor) laundry room. 

Just a word of caution....when you have either paid or volunteer yard work done:

"No one else will cherish those beautiful blooms as you do."

Clarification: Next May   I will have no perfect blooms like this and not likely to have more than one handful of tiny

"Wanna be Oak Leaf Blooms."

No, I'm not whining-

Just an fyi

It All Began with My Neighbor's Yarrow ~

If you supervise your yard work very cautiously....you could end up with this incredible show of Yarrow.  Neglect to supervise that mowing and you could just end up dreaming of a harvest of Yarrow NEXT YEAR....or the Next season.  Just a word of caution.

"But, Mom I didn't know if that was weeds or flowers~"

I do like the Yellow but gladly rejoice with whatever color thrives.

.

Why do I need Yarrow, you may ask.  Answer: Because it's not only a big

show off like this patch but it dries to perfection for  beautiful dried designs.
