Yesterday I listened in awe and lunched with the Hydrangea experts.

Robert Mallet OF THE SHAMROCK COLLECTION, (located in Normandy France; the largest collection of Hydrangeas in the world), visited with Elizabeth Dean & Gene Griffin of WILKERSON MILL GARDENS; North America’s premiere hydrangea nursery.

A peek at the propagating nursery above.
How lucky I was to be invited. Listening to the conversations was an education! Thank you Elizabeth & Gene.
What a wealth of knowledge in one room on my favorite subject!! Please do share what you learned with me later or better on your blog!!! It was great to see you last night at the lecture. What a special treat for the American Hydrangea Society to have him speak to us. Those slides were amazing! I think I will let my hydrangeas reach for the heaven too! Have a great day!
