When white isn't really white......

When is white not really white? When you plant a white hydrangea bush and watch it unfold. As the flowers begin to open up the centers are more yellow or light green than white.

As the days go by, and the flowers open up more, the centers of the each little flower turn white.....then pale blue.

You can see on this picture how some of the centers are small blue balls....but with each passing day, they open up to become the most delicate little blue centers!!! Who knew? Certainly not me......and I thought perhaps some of you might be just as surprised!
