I sometimes think that the Victorians had a much more healthy attitude to death, than we have today. Today it's too sanitized. It happens somewhere else. It's like it can never happen to us.

I have encountered real life Victorian mourning rings before. They leave you very thoughtful indeed.

Great article by the way!

It really is special when someone in your family writes down their history. There are stories you'd never know otherwise.
Thanks.

@Katie - Fall is a good time to plant them. Next summer you will be able to enjoy the flowers!

@Katiem2 Just remember, if you buy and plant a blue one, it will only remain blue if your soil has a low pH and is acidic. If not, it will become pink.

Ah Ha Ah Ha, now I've come full circle, I know all there is to know about hydrangeas. I like the blue ones. I def must plant the blue, my house is blue, they would accent each other so well. :)K

Ah Ha, now I know how to plant them. I have a couple plants still in the pots that were given to me this spring. I have got to get them planted, where did the summer go... I'm so going to add Hydrangeas to my landscape. :)K
