Okay, we know the hydrangeas are more purple/pink than blue, but that's Colorado soil for you! Hydrangeas act as pH indicators and take on more blue colors when grown in acidic soil, but we have alkaline soil around these parts. That yields sepals that are more pink. (The sepals are the colorful part of the plant—they're not technically petals.)

But the point is... GO VOTE!

Loving the mosaic plant at the gardens! Native to Central and South America, this heat-loving aquatic plant is definitely an annual in Colorado.
