Due to the intense heat, the flowers in our pots withered one after another. However, the hydrangeas that finished blooming in June started blooming again this month.
A Floral Surprise
A Treat for my Eyes
With Lots of Flower Power
Not only in the early Hour
Like Balm for my Soul
My Dreams get out of Control
A World without Flowers
Won’t be the World of ours
But like a Sky without Stars
Similar to Life on Planet Mars

view light box - I have been in Gloucester for the last couple of days to look for the deeds of the family home and visit the solicitor to alter the power of attorney document over my brother's affairs.
These hydrangeas in the front of the house I pruned for Mum while she was alive and I should have cut off last year's growth this visit - but I decided to photograph them instead.
A new variety to me, hydrangea serrata kiyosumi, taken on a local National Trust visit to Biddulph Grange Gardens.
Hydrangea, common names hydrangea or 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.
Hydrangea is derived from Greek and means ‘water vessel’ (from ὕδωρ water + ἄγγος or αγγεῖον vessel), in reference to the shape of its seed capsules. The earlier name, Hortensia, is a Latinised version of the French given name Hortense, honoring French astronomer and mathematician Nicole-Reine Hortense Lepaute. This claim is disputed in page 88 on citation 10 at Nicole-Reine Hortense Lepaute page, which says: "Larousse considers this an injustice, and remarks that it has led many persons to the erroneous notion that "Hortensia" was one of her names; it was probably only the Latin adjective from "hortus."
In most species, the flowers are white, but in others (notably H. macrophylla), they can be blue, red, pink, light purple, or dark purple. In these species, floral colour change occurs due to the presence of aluminum ions which are available or tied up depending upon the soil pH. For H. macrophylla and H. serrata cultivars, the flower colour can be determined by the relative acidity of the soil: an acidic soil (pH below 7), will have available aluminum ions and typically produce flowers that are blue to purple, whereas an alkaline soil (pH above 7) will tie up aluminum ions and result in pink or red flowers. This is caused by a color change of the flower pigments in the presence of aluminum ions which can be taken up into hyperaccumulating plants.[ Lowering the pH of potting soils or mixes usually does not change the flower colour to blue, because these soils have no aluminum ions. The ability to blue or pink a hydrangea is also influenced by the cultivar. Some plants are selected for their ability to be blued, while others are bred and selected to be red, pink, or white. The flower colour of most other Hydrangea species is not affected by aluminum and cannot be changed or shifted. Hydrangeas are also nicknamed 'Change Rose'.

I love the different blues in the Hydrangea flowers. This one was a light blue. At the George Tindale Garden using my lensbaby to get that bokeh blur
園内には立ち枯れの紫陽花がいっぱいです。
夕陽に透かして見ると蝶々みたいでなかなか面白いです。
久しぶりの充実した撮影に満足し名物の「ハケ上だんご」を食べて帰路につきました。
There were many hydrangeas that were naturally dried flowers in the park.
Looking through the hydrangea in the setting sun, it looks like a butterfly and is quite interesting.
I was satisfied with the fulfilling shooting after a long absence. Then, I ate the famous "Dango on the top of the cliff" and went home.
Anything goes for Macro Mondays
Last week, I found a potted hydrangea that was about to wither in the flower shop. I bought it and planted in my garden. I took care of it to revive, but it didn't work. It left me some tiny beautiful petals and a few small flowers. They healed me enough.
I think I can enjoy its beauty again next year.
