What happened to my large mophead flowers on my Nikko Blue Hydrangea?
I have a few Nikko blue hydrangeas about 4 or 5 years old and every year I got beautiful large blooms. This year however, I have a lot of blue flowers, but they are very small, almost looking like the lacecap variety. Can anyone tell me what happened and what I can do to bring back my large blooms next year. Also, one of the bushes is dead on one side. There are just sticks (which I did break off) and no new growth at all.
I bet you had a late frost which stunted the already formed blooms.
Dont prune after July.
The other half dead one will have new sprouts that come out of the grnd next spring – no worries.

Easily Get Started
Topons is your online marketplace for popular RC boats. Here you will find hot new items such as nitro and electric RC boats. You’ll also find information about sail boats, jet skis, submarines, and even remote controlled hovercrafts. Online articles, magazines, pictures, tips, videos, and RC hobby shops will make it easy for you to get started.
Getting started with RC boats can be cheap and easy. Here is a concise modeler’s online guide to help you choose, build and buy an RC boat for fun, racing, or simple recreation.
Speed
Excitement comes from controlling a very fast speed boat. The best choice would be the fast nitro rc boats. Out of the box speed are 25 – 35 mph!
Electric RC boats are also fast, but without the noise. This means you can play in areas where, because of noise ordinance, nitro boats are not allowed. Out of the box speeds are 15 – 20+ mph.
And if relaxation is what you want, then nothing beats the calm of recreational RCsailboats. It’s just you and wind power.
Duration
RC boats that are nitro powered can run for long periods of time. A quick refuel and you are back on the waters.
RC boats that are electric powered will usually run for 10 – 15 minutes, depending on the battery pack and the boat size. Smaller “toy” boats will usually run for 30 – 45 minutes per battery pack.
Sailboats are only dependent on the batteries for the radio control system, which usually lasts for 30 – 60 minutes per battery charge.
Which is Better, Nitro RC Boat or Gas RC Boats?
Nitro RC boats are generally faster but the run time is shorter. The nitro fuel is also more expensive than the regular gasoline / oil mixture used by gas boats.
Gas rc boats have much longer run times, but are usually slower and more expensive. However it is cheaper to operate in the long run because gasoline is much cheaper than nitro fuel.
Factors To Consider About Nitro RC Boats
Speed, noise, and maintenance are important factors to consider. Before buying, make sure you have enough wide open space, as these boats reach 30 miles per hour.
Also consider the noise factor. There are areas where nitro boats are not allowed because of the loud noise. Check with your local city ordinance or village homeowners association.
Finally, nitro boats have engines that require some tuning skills. Unlike electric boats where you simply plug the battery and play, a nitro marine engine has a carburetor, fuel filter, air filter, cooling head, and a tuned pipe. All these must work properly in order for your engine to run. Weather conditions and temperature will also have an effect on engine tuning.
RC Boat Nitro – Popular Models
Once you have made the decision, here are some of the best and popular nitro powered speed boats you can buy online.
CEN uses the term “gas powered” or GP to describe their nitro powered boats. Popular is the 1/10 CEN Grey Thunder and the faster 1/10 CEN Nitro Aqua Jet.
Buy from RC toys shops and online hobby stores from China manufacturer that have: good reputation, store brand and good merchant rating. Also consider availability of products and the total delivered price.

Can angel star hydrangeas grow on raised mounds of dirt under a tree?
What is the best spot for this and a nikko blue and endless summer variety? what plants would complement the hydrangeas? Thanks!
no… the mounds would dry out too fast…. all hydrangea need water….. and they won’t compete for it with the tree too well, either….

Colorful Summer Gardens
In mid-summer the perennial border is at its peak with a wide variety of sun-loving flowers in bloom. There are even some long lasting, early blooming flowers still providing color as well as some signs of the later blooming perennials. Choose flowers for the mid-season garden which work well with your favorite annuals. Annuals are at their peak during the mid-summer months. Fully leafed out shrubs can serve as a wonderful back drop to the garden and the yet to bloom perennials act as great filler giving the garden as lush look.
Perennial and annuals are the focus of the mid-season garden. With a few exceptions most of the flowering tree and shrubs have finished blooming by the middle of summer. Autumn foliage is still a few months away. Flower gardens are in full bloom, however. Lingering until mid-season are some of the spring bloomer and toward the end of this period, the late season bloomers begin to show some signs of flowering.
Where as the early border consists of those flowers which are suitable for the shade and the woodland garden, the mid-season border revolves around the more sun loving varieties of flowers. They’re also, in general, taller than the spring perennials. Many of the these perennials have been cultivated from the wildflower prairies of the mid-west.
Daisies are a classic summer flower. They produce abundant flowers in a variety of colors and sizes. After flowering, deadhead the stems to encourage a flush of new growth. Hollyhock and delphinium are old fashioned, tall growing colorful perennials for the full-sun garden. They’re both suitable for the cottage garden. Daylily, another classic mid-season bloomer, offers an abundance of short lived flowers. Lady’s Mantle, a great edging perennial with yellow flowers, and geranium, a low growing flower are ideal for the front of a perennial garden.
Blooming along with the perennials and annuals are hydrangeas, one the most versatile shrubs available to the gardener. In fact, they are indispensable in the garden for summer color and foliage texture. No garden is complete without them.
Hydrangeas prefer part shade, rich organic soil and afternoon shade after some morning sun. If they get shade in the morning and sun in the afternoon they may look stressed due to the sudden rise in temperature. Hydrangeas need lots of water especially young plants since they tend to dry out quickly during the hot weather. After planting be sure to mulch well. Fertilize the shrubs in the spring and then again in late summer.
Lacecap hydrangeas are identified by its ring of flowers surrounding a center of florets and nikko blue hydrangeas by their large pom-pom like flowers.
Oak leaf hydrangea has a much different appearance than the other hydrangeas as its leaves resembles that of the oak. Its white blooms fade to pink in fall. Climbing hydrangeas are a white blooming, deciduous vine which clings to garden structures, walls and fences with aerial roots.
Hydrangeas are treasured for their long lasting, summer blooming flowers. Whether among a shrub border, climbing a wall or planted on its own as an accent shrub, hydrangeas are a beautiful addition to any garden.
Since there are so many summer blooming flowers to chose from, plan your garden in advance, before you plant. Though you’ll probably find a plant you haven’t thought of, you’ll be glad you have a prepared list when you get to the greenhouse.
