My mom gave me some of her hydrangea cuttings that she'd dried and I had a couple, too. Both of ours ended up being the same color! I love the dark burgundy coupled with the green.
Dried hydrangeas
Very pretty :)
I love em. Their so old fashioned and warm looking. :)
How do you get those colors? Mine always turn brown.
Thanks,

I just cut them off the plant when they're that color and they dry that way.
They are really beautiful and that's a good idea to cut them while they still have colour.
I took this picture today down by Lake Ontario.
Browned, but still I like them.

Joan, those ARE pretty! Amazing, because you know you could crush them to bits in a second, yet they survive the elements.
kbaumle, So true. When I look at them up close they are soooo delicate. The bouquet I have inside always has petals at it's feet, which is rather pretty. I've given up trying to keep it cleaned up and just let them lie.
