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.
Hydrangea, the name, comes from the Greek words "hydro" or water, and "angeion," or vase = water vase, they prefer a lot of water.
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 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.

Pouring rain for days does not mute the colour or stifle the imminent popping of the central flowers of this hydrangea cultivar. In my waterlogged Gold Coast hinterland garden.

👎 Rejection:
Alas, poor BLUE hydrangea! On 29 May 2025, the administrator for the Flickr group "Flowers/blossoms in blue - Blumen/Blüten In blau" rejected this photo for NOT displaying a blue flower. WTF?? With no recourse for appeal (the administrator disabled discussion), I left the group.

The warm sun of Summer is still stroking us occasionally, Autumn sneaked upon us, but it is here, the calendar tells me.
I look up, I look down, the leaves are turning, the leaves are falling, less and less flowers, drying up, discolouring...from green to yellow, from green to orange, from yellow to orange, from orange to red, they all end up brown and dead.
These Hydrangea, if cut at the right time will give you a Winter-long pleasure of colour!
Have a colourful day, and thank you for your visit, M, (*_*)
