    Star gaze lily, yes, that's the hydrangea I remember. I like the neat blooms and colour. Would it survive in a container, do you think?

     they open up and smell like a rose! however they do suffer from the rain spoiling the blooms, brown edges and petals fall. They are worth growing despite that image

    Bizzie B, I don't know if it would be ok in a pot as I don't know what its called. It was already here when we moved in. It was quite big then and its huge now. Not sure how you would take a cutting,  do you.

    Best wishes to Beaus mums mum, hope she feels better soon, love and hugs x

    What a stunning blue Beaus Mum,  they do look good just sitting in the glass pots  image  

     Here's a  challenge open to all:  which contaoner would be the best one to display sunflowers? image

    star gaze lily I've only ever 'layered' hydrangeas, though I would think that cuttings are just as easy. May try both methods on mine as I would like go see which colour comes true as there is such a variation!

    Thank you bizzie image

    In answer to your challenge I would say a large dark blue earthenware type pot, maybe like the glazed ones you get for the garden image
