Welcome to Esther's Gardens, Parkesburg, PA, Chester County, USA

@EastCoastGarden , this is my garden. With in the many pics you will find , the typical "Ball" shape your thinking about. There are a few types of Lace caps here too, some more "lacy" than others. There are also the Cone shaped ones. Please just get a book or google. And always know, not every hydrangeas is pruned the same way in the fall. I have some, I would NEVER prune. It takes time to learn all this stuff. I live in Chester County ,PA. Parkesburg, Pa. if ever this way I'd be happy to walk you about. take care.

Truly this fall I need to get my act together. The Annabelle Hydrangeas in the front of the house are too big, the babies need to be cut out and potted. I will probably be able to pot up to 6 babies when done. So anyone living in Chester County, here they are.

@EastCoastGarden -- above, a late bloomer is considered a lace cap. If you look closely it has three types of blooms on it. the main large flowers, then wee tiny ones, and then --what I call pearls .

@Esther Knapicius, I like the fact that you have different varieties and colors of daffodils.

Thank you. it is about timing, planting early bulbs, later bulbs, and late late bulbs, still have more to open up.

Thank for looking. Even the gloomy day today my back property lights up with all the white pedals of the daffs.
