Following my retirement one of my most treasured friends arranged for the shipment of three dormant and potted, Hydrangea paniculata Vanilla Strawberry™.
They're from White Flower Farm and coincidentally match an older hydrangea that the deer munched-upon last winter.
In any event, this gift is a perfect match to the existing shrub and situated at a different corner of the house the three plants should compliment the original rather nicely.
Furthermore, with permanent residence we can mount a better defensive effort to protect them from the marauding tree-munchers. I'll wrap them in burlap!

It is going to be fun watching these shrubs grow and become established. Not only will they bring a smile to these lips - but they'll memorialize a 38-year career and a decades-long relationship.
Raising a toast to a perfect post-script...
