AnniverSAry GUTTIERREZ By Millie Seiber For the sheer pleasure of just stand- ing there and looking, it is hard to beat the sight of a north-facing wall com- pletely lined with a billowing mass of pink and blue hydrangeas in full bloom. I have had this experience and can call that memory up every time I think about hydrangeas. This is a genus of 70 - 75 species na - tive mostly to Asian countries (China, Japan, Korea). Most are shrubs which grow up to a maximum of 9 feet tall, some are small trees, and some are a viny form which climb trees. There are two forms of flowers: mophead flow - ers are large and round; lace caps bear round, flat heads with a center core of subdued fertile flowers surrounded by outer rings of showy, sterile flowers. In most species the flowers are white, but H. macrophylla they can be blue, red, pink light purple or dark purple. In this species the colors are affected by soil pH. An acidic soil (pH below 6) will usually produce a flower color closer to blue; an alkaline soil will produce flow - ers more pink. Alum or iron in the soil are taken up into the plants when intro- duced far ahead of the blooming season. In our area they really so need a north-facing exposure with partial shade. Our full afternoon sun is too much for them. They are also dependent upon a lot of water. That suits me as I am a heavy waterer. You will have fast growth and need to prune for control. Some are best pruned annually when the new leaf buds are forming. If not pruned, the bushes will get leggy until the stems get too heavy and will sag. Other species flower on "old wood" so new wood resulting from prun - ing won't produce until the following season. If you are looking for a different effect you can grow hydrangeas in a container. This can make a bold statement in a tub which can be placed at the corner of your patio or on a terrace. Two hydrangeas that are of partic - ular interest to me are H. paniculata which has a lovely white cone-shaped flower, and H. quercifolia, called the oak- leaf hydrangea. The shape of the leaf is unique and makes for a handsome plant. Whichever you choose I'm sure you'll be joining me some day just standing there admiring.

That spending supported 419 jobs in the local area. "Whiskeytown National Recreation Area is proud to welcome visitors from across the region, coun - try and even around the world," said acting Super- intendent Sean Denniston. "We are delighted to share the story of Whiskeytown and the experiences it pro - vides and to use the park as a way to introduce our vis- itors to this part of north- ern California and all that it offers. National park tour- ism is a significant driver in the national economy – re- turning $10 for every $1 in- vested in the National Park Service - and it's a big fac- tor in our local economy as well. We appreciate the partnership and support of our neighbors and are glad to be able to give back by helping to sustain local communities." The peer-reviewed visi- tor spending analysis was conducted by U.S. Geo- log ica l Sur vey econo - mists Catherine Cullinane Thomas and Christopher Huber and Lynne Koontz for the National Park Ser - vice. The report shows $14.7 billion of direct spend- ing by 283 million park visi- tors in communities within 60 miles of a national park. This spending supported 243,000 jobs nationally, with 201,000 jobs found in these gateway communi - ties, and had a cumulative benefit to the U.S. economy of $26.75 billion. According to the report, most visitor spending sup - ports jobs in restaurants, grocery and convenience stores (39 percent), hotels, motels and B&Bs (27 per - cent), and other amuse- ment and recreation (20 percent).
