Three and a half years ago, we moved here and Anne brought along that hydrangea in the back of the photo.
I guess it finally got used to the new dirt this year and bloomed for the first time since we moved. She fertilizes it all quite often and has a pretty green thumb.
I noticed the astilbe this morning and decided to share a photo.

These flowers look very beautiful, and you can see that they have been carefully cared for.

Wow I can't believe you're there three & a half years already. Time flies!
Anne's green thumb has paid off as those flowers look very pretty.

We had a hydrangea and had moved it from one part of the yard to another. It took it several years but, then it took off and is huge now.

@JamesHxstatic .....Slow on the uptake of nutrients perhaps.

We were wondering if they would ever bloom.

@JamesHxstatic My mother waited seven years for her hoya to bloom but once it decided to, it bloomed its little heart out.

@RubyHawk I could kill a plant by looking at it.

@JamesHxstatic Two of my sisters have green thumbs. They always have beautiful gardens. I like gardening but I didn't get their green thumb.

Beautiful flowers ! Here few people grow the astilbe as flowers .Its rhizome is a herbal medicine used to dispel stasis and pain.

She did something right with those. I should watch. Darn, I spelled it wrong, that's how much I know about plants.

I guess so, took me a year or two also, living among all these over 55 folks.
