Speaking of Hydrangeas---"Yaku Prince" LIVES!!!

This is for you Nay-sayers (Jeff--are you listening?) that it is dead and I should
just pull it up. Paul (Mr. Rhodo Man) said the same thing.

Since it was planted in the corner of my raised bed--and since there was
nothing else I was planning to put in there--I decided to let it be and see
what comes of it.
Well--come spring, I started seeing signs of new leaf growth.
There was hope!!!
Well--all the dead and browned leaves have all dried up and fallen off
and the Rhodo is leafing out nicely. NO blooms this year--of course.
But--I expect a nice flush next year.

1 and 2 --the dead and doomed Yaku prince...March 2015

3--As it looks today--mid June.
