The hydrangeas put in a last minute show this year, sending up a final group of blooms just as the first frosts were hitting. I managed to save a nice set of them before a killing frost hit a week ago. Miraculously, our ferns on the front porch are still going strong, their protected alcove no doubt aiding in their survival this late into the season. As for the hydrangeas, they would not have lasted the night, so I brought them in, and they’ve lasted more than several nights.
