@Woollie, The lacy looking flowers of Hydrangea Blue Wave sound like they look lovely.

 

[Woollie]

They are nice and the other traditional ones are related to old peeps..no offence meant but they were always in oldies gardens when I was a youngun..where did I become one of the oldies..only in age not in life though...
