The weather this year has produced some really beautiful hydrangeas but no where have I seen so many and so big as in Woodlawn Cemetery
Saturday Self Challenge
Share your interpretation of nature for our next challenge.
Fauna, flora, anything nature related. Scenes, close-up, the choice is yours. If you can get outside then go and chase nature. If you’re stuck inside then perhaps a leaf, a plant, a pet.
Bonus points if you can capture some lovely bokeh, smooth or otherwise.
It’s not been the best week for weather with thunderstorms rattling through, so I’m glad I got this done early. I must point out that this hydrangea is not ours, for the umpteenth year running the four plants we own have decided that it’s better to produce a good show of leaves, than it is to go to the trouble of flowering. According to the RHS web site, they are easy to grow and take hardly any looking after, I reckon we must be doing something wrong !
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
自宅 紫陽花
5年越しで咲いた紫陽花
サンタ（ヨークシャテリア）の散歩コースの道端に咲いていた紫陽花の枝を持ち帰り、挿し木で咲いてくれました。
サンタのアジサイと呼んでいます。
Hydrangea that bloomed over 5 years
I brought home a branch of a hydrangea that was blooming on the side of the road on Santa's (Yorkshire Terrier) walking route, and it bloomed from a cutting.
We call it Santa's hydrangea.

Hydrangea, commonly named the hortensia, is a genus of over 75 species of flowering plants native to Asia and the Americas. By far the greatest species diversity is in eastern Asia, notably China, Korea, and Japan. Most are shrubs 1–3 m (3 ft 3 in – 9 ft 10 in) tall, but some are small trees, and others lianas reaching up to 30 m (100 ft) by climbing up trees. They can be either deciduous or evergreen, though the widely cultivated temperate species are all deciduous.

Early hydrangea blossoms, just starting to bloom in April, in the Ancient Playground outside the Metropolitan Museum Of Art in NYC -- April 26, 2019
There is a long association of Hydrangeas with Nymans because they are so suited to the soil type. Many varieties date back to the 1960’s when the Messel family were well known for showing blooms at both the Chelsea Flower Show and at RHS shows. The romantic setting of the house and ruins lends itself to large groups of mop-head and lace-cap varieties which can be seen on the main lawn
I photographed it like this so you really see the intricate structure. From my garden.
Rich, dark blue centres of this dainty lacecap variety of the popular shrub are encircled by paler finish white large florets, the two together show each other off in spectacular fashion.
Hydrangea serrata also has dramatic green-bronze leaves which turn to darker shades of red and purple during the autumn, helping to add yet further interest to your garden.
Hardy enough to withstand our winter weather but compact enough to also be grown in a container, these hydrangeas are well worth adding to your garden.
Hydrangea, the name, comes from the Greek words 'hydro' or water, and 'angeion' or vase = water vase, they prefer a lot of water.
In French and Flemish: Hortense, Hortensia, like the female name!
These bushes supply beautiful color all summer long. Like the Crepe Myrtle trees, they are a favorite summer cliche! HCS!
Dried hydrangea blooms in warm autumn tones stand against a sunlit limestone brick wall in Oak Park, Illinois. Their papery, rust-brown flower clusters cast delicate shadows on the textured stone, creating a quiet study in late-season beauty.
…… All caught up & back on track! Another garden shot for my #219 picture of the day today, many parts of the garden are beginning to look very much like Autumn! But still some colour dotted about - I liked this Hydrangea when you get up really close, taken on my phone in Apple RAW and edited in Lightroom. Alan:-)

The Hydrangeas did very well this year, although in general the heads are smaller probably due to the hot summer.
Now some have been dried and form a lovely dash of colour in the room.

A very ancient plant, found in fossils going back thousands of years.
Flower lovers will know that there is a flower language.
Every sentiment is expressed in one form or another by delicate blooms.
Of course, even the experts disagree on the "true meaning" of many flowers and most have different meanings to different people.
So, while all flowers convey thoughtfulness and love, a gift of flowers for a special someone will always create its own personal meaning, too.
HYDRANGEA - Thank You for Understanding.
Have a wonderful day and thank you for your comments with all my heart, M, (*_*)

Hydrangea is a genus of more than 70 species of flowering plants native to Asia and the Americas. Hydrangea is also used as the common name for the genus; some (particularly H. macrophylla) are also often called hortensia. The genus was first described from Virginia in North America, but by far the greatest species diversity is in eastern Asia, notably China, Korea, and Japan. Most are shrubs 1–3 m (3 ft 3 in – 9 ft 10 in) tall, but some are small trees, and others lianas reaching up to 30 m (100 ft) by climbing up trees. They can be either deciduous or evergreen, though the widely cultivated temperate species are all deciduous.
The flowers of many hydrangeas act as natural pH indicators, producing blue flowers when the soil is acidic and pink ones when the soil is alkaline.
