Gardening; Hydrangeas make the best dried flowers

Hydrangeas make the best dried flower arrangements.  For some reason, their color never fades and they seem to last forever.  I have some from last year yet.  But I change them every year anyhow.  The above pictures show my Vanilla Strawberry Hydrangeas from the bush in the bottom photo.  These are the same flowers from different sides.  Notice all the different colors in them.  That's how they will look this time next year too.  So if you have any hydrangeas in your yard, pick the blooms, but not until the end of the season or they will not last.  Don't pick the early ones.  I love to see them especially in the dead of winter when the days are gray and not much color outside.
