Half way through the year and no doubt most of those New Year’s Resolutions have died a death, and whilst June may not always be the sunfest we’d like, it does give us the most daylight hours, which in turns means flowers in abundance. It is hard to choose which flower should be named Flower of the month in June, but maybe the hydrangea has the edge.
Country, rustic and the very epitome of the wording ‘blooming’, hydrangeas burst out in June; they remind me of those vintage 60s swimming caps that old ladies wear! What STYLE NV loves best is that one hydrangea can even be an entire flower arrangement; stick a stem in an old medicine bottle or a old baked beans tin (this is real Constance Spry territory here) and instantly you have a cute arrangement. Hydrangeas scent is subtle, so fake hydrangeas work really well.
