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, (*_*)

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 - Thank You for Understanding.
Have a wonderful day and thank you for your comments with all my heart, M, (*_*)

The calendar says fall, but the temps say summer is hanging on, just like this last Hydrangea bloom. I took this on 9/22 and it is still in bloom today. HCS!
This beautiful blue lace cap hydrangea was at our gite in Saint-Mayeux, Cotes-d'Armor, Brittany. This was one of my favorites among hundreds of hydrangeas we saw in France, due to its true blue color and lace cap.
Have a great Wednesday! Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

In Japan, hydrangeas usually bring to mind the rainy season.
Here in Vancouver, they bloom under clear blue skies instead.
I always enjoy seeing these delicate mountain hydrangeas glowing in the summer sunshine.

The name Hydrangea is taken from the Greek language, meaning ‘water vessel’, in reference to the shape of its seed capsules. This is the first time in four years that this plant has flowered, usually (along with three others) it’s been a wonderful display of green leaves. The last time they did bloom the flowers were blue, they’ve all been repotted and now the flowers are pink. I think I have this the right way round, the higher the acidity of the soil the flowers will be blue, the higher the alkaline content of the soil, the flowers produced will be pink. I was hoping for blue, but I’ve obviously got the wrong compost.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
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.

Just looking good and I could easily get bored with them, as they grow like weeds here.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.
