Boston Flower Show
Last weekend I spoke at the Boston Flower Show on the topic "Heavenly Hydrangeas
for the Home Garden". The audience of about 150 people was terrific with many good questions asked after the presentation.
As always I loved being at a flower show especially being inside with colorful flowers on a very cold day in March.

My Latest Hydrangea Book
I am VERY happy to report my latest hydrangea book is about to be released!
Heavenly Hydrangeas: A Practical Guide for the Home Gardener is the book I wanted to find over 20 years ago when
I first became interested in learning everything about hydrangeas. This is a combination of how-to book and photo essays.
All the basics are in the book: color; pruning; choosing the right plants; planting and transplanting advice; drying, hydrangeas
as cut flowers; how to make a hydrangea wreath, etc. I did everything I could to make this book helpful for the home gardener.
Each chapter deals with a single topic (like flower color). The text is supplemented with photos throughout. There is an index,
a list of places to see great collections of hydrangeas, and an appendix with frequenly asked questions. So, if you want to
learn more about hydrangeas, I think you need this book. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
PS
You can find ordering information by clicking on the link in this site's hydrangea books page.

Paniculata Season
The mopheads are fading into their
beautiful antique colors but, oh! the paniculatas are really making their presence felt! I was driving along Route 6A in Brewster
yesterday and had to stop to take pictures of a fabulous display of 'Limelight' paniculatas edging the parking lot of the
She Sells shop. Check out my page on paniculatas and you'll see why I just HAD to stop!

Book Signing at Yellow Umbrella Books
I had a delightful time at Yellow Umbrella Books in Chatham yesterday where I signed
copies of my book, Hydrangeas: Cape Cod and the Islands. I always love meeting and talking with people who share
a love of hydrangeas.
I have created a new page to show my schedule of appearances including book signings. Go to the page called Book
Signings Etc.
Hope to see you soon!

New Hydrangea Book
I am delighted to announce the release of my new book, Hydrangeas: Cape Cod and the
Islands, now available in bookstores. The book has over 340 color photos which show hydrangeas in a wide range of settings
on Cape Cod, Nantucket, and Martha's Vineyard. It was a pleasure to take the pictures and is now a delight to see the great
job Schiffer Publishing did in making it the beautiful book that it is. To see a copy of the cover of the book go to the hydrangea
books page. Hope you like it!
