@ Amazing Hydrangea "This is amazing, Venus! It says in our guide that the colour pink has a tranquillising effect and can be used to suppress anger and anxiety. How about that?" "I've heard that some sports teams paint the visiting team's changing rooms pink, to gain an advantage, Merida!" responded Venus. Amazing Hydrangea The hydrangea is rightly a very popular garden shrub, coming in a variety of gorgeous colours. Did you know that some hydrangeas have the ability to change the colour of their flowers? This colour change is due to the soil pH which affects aluminium availability. Those with blue or pink flowers tend to be blue in acid soil conditions (high available aluminium levels), mauve in acid to neutral soil conditions, and pink in alkaline conditions. White flowers, and also green-flowered cultivars, remain white or green regardless of soil pH. Try to use rainwater to water hydrangeas, since mains hard water can affect the flower colour, turning blue flowers mauve or pink.
While enjoying the show, you met Venus.
Merida shook paws with Venus the Ragdoll Kitten. They both received one silver mole!
@ Pastel Fractal As Merida's tour of "World of Pastel " comes to an end, she receives a seasonally appropriate gift! Isn't Fall Just Peachy For many pets, fall is their favorite season. And who can blame them? Everything around them is shrouded in such lovely colors, like these flowers, for example, in warm soft peachy hues. No doubt, Fall is definitely just 'peachy.' Pastel Fractal A fractal is a geometric shape that is self-similar through infinite iterations in a recursive pattern and through infinite detail. It couldn't be simpler! Our example here might be part of a rather splendid ceiling or perhaps an ornate lampshade! Merida has completed her tour of "World of Pastel "!
