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.

- Hydrangea paniculata 'Limelight' is one of the most winter hardy hydrangeas. An important feature is that it flowers on new shoots so you better prune or trim it early in the season to achieve a denser plant and to avoid it grows to tall. If pruned it will grow to ca. 150 - 200cm
This is a panicle type hydrangea, not a mop-head one with big leaves and large flowers heads. Well, how to explain then that this new variety has even bigger flowers? Never mind, let’s just call them XXL size. The panicles are upto 30 cm long, fat blossoms of greenish-white colour when they come out in early August, changing to almost white after about 2-3 weeks and turning clear pink in September. The shade of pink is not a fading one, but fresh pink as if it was meant to be pink from the very beginning. Ovate, pointed leaves are dark green.
- Hydrangea paniculata 'Limelight' wordt, mits jaarlijks eind februari gesnoeid, 150 - 200cm hoog.
De plant bloeit langdurig, van juli t/m oktober met grote bloempluimen ( 25 – 30 cm groot) in een groen/witte kleur. De kleur is afhankelijk van de vruchtbaarheid van de grond. Hoe armer de grond is, hoe witter de bloem wordt. Voor de bijzondere, haast lichtgevende, groene kleur heb je dus een vruchtbare grond nodig.
Per tak groeit er één grote bloem. In september en oktober kleuren de bloemen roze. Het is mooi om in de winter de bloemen aan de struik te laten zitten. Ze kleuren bruin en zorgen vooral bij sneeuw voor een prachtig beeld in de tuin. Vogeltjes zijn ook altijd nog blij met oude bloempluimen, vanwege insecten die zich erin verschuilen.
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.

An interesting fact about Hydrangea flowers is that their flower colour can change based on the pH in soil. Soil with a pH of 5.5 or lower will produce blue flowers, a pH of 6.5 or higher will produce pink hydrangeas, and soil in between 5.5 and 6.5 will have purple hydrangeas.

I have two hydrangeas in my garden. One has not yet bloomed this summer. This hydrangea produced pink flowers last summer and was much taller. This year the flowers range from a purplish-white to blue, like this one.
A stunning display of blue hydrangea flowers in full bloom, surrounded by lush green foliage. The delicate petals and vibrant colors create a serene and picturesque scene.
Last year our hydrangeas bloomed in May This year we have only one of many plants blooming only now.

Having seen several pretty hydrangea photos lately here on Flickr, I decided to try my hand at it as I rode my bike past a collection of them. In developing the photo, I aimed for almost a glowing effect. It might've been easier to achieve that in Photoshop, but I did what I could with Lightroom instead.

I've loved hydrangeas ever since I saw my first one decades ago, way before they were so trendy, but I've never seen these little stars. Maybe I've not looked closely enough, or maybe this is a variety I've not seen before. Cool though, eh?
I captured this while on a walk in a nearby park with my Nikon D70.
Before I started photography, I didn't know much about plants and wondered, "Is this a hydrangea too?" After some research, I found out it's a type of lacecap hydrangea. Photography always teaches me something new about the nature around me.
