| Cool drops of rain on hydrangea sepals |
 |
| These are sepals and not petals. Thus the reason why the 'flower' lasts longer than any other flowers that exhibit their colorful petals |
 |
| Blue hues |
 |
| Refreshing look of the leaves |

| This one is bigger than my face |
I don't know. The current plan is to have at least 20 pots or polybags. Will that be enough? Hmm..how many do I have now? 6 potted and 2 newly rooted with 3 varieties. That's why I'm still in search of websites that sell hydrangea plants online and provide shipping to Malaysia. I'm also very much interested in finding local nurseries that sell varieties of hydrangea plants. Why laa so difficult to find one in Malaysia? Guess that's one of the factors I'm starting this challenge.
Repotting
So, this week, I repotted 2 hydrangea plants. One which I rooted last year. It's growing big now with beautiful big pink blooms. The other is the hydrangea plant that I bought in Cameron Highland early Dec last year. Not sure what varieties they are.

| Tools needed. Why the coffee powder? So hydrangea will have blue blooms |
 |
| Bags of soil. Bought for RM5 each |

| The Stretch Tie. Bought at Ace Hardware to tie up low-lying hydrangea branches |

 |
| Adding fertiliser - mix of chicken manure and compost |
 |

| Add more soil |
