Hello and welcome to Pink Saturday...I am joining How Sweet The Sound.
A few weeks ago we were in Victoria, BC Canada for my birthday, and I photographed these lovely pink hydrangeas by the Inner Harbour sea wall
My uncle owned a nursery during my childhood, and I remember him telling me that the color of hydrangea blossoms could be affected by what minerals they were fed. I don't remember what caused the pink, but I do remember that the addition of copper pennies to the soil turns the flowers bright blue. As that is my favorite color, no wonder I remember that!
I was looking for something else to share that's pink, and found this cream and sugar set from the 1940s by Homer Laughlin, USA in the Eggshell Nautilus shape. I don'y know what the pattern name is, but I liked the stylized, almost art deco retro modern pink and grey flower buds. I really like it! For more info on the cream and sugar at Antiques And Teacups, click on the photos!
I also found a photo of a pink kitchen from Coastal Living magazine from a year ago:
Now that's a pop of color!!!! Have a great weekend, and enjoy visiting the other Pink Saturday participants.

Love hydrangeas and those are such a fabulous pink ! I think I have some teacups and saucers in the pattern you are showing.

I love hydrangeas in any color. Pink or white are my favorites. I've heard the same story but don't remember what to add for pink!

Gorgeous hydrangeas. I have an endless summer blue one. The cream and sugar are really pretty. Enjoy the weekend.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Hydrangeas! Mine are pink and I will remember the penny trick to make some of them blue. I thought it had something to do with the acid in the soil!
ReplyDeleteHPS!
