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.
Blooming in my San Francisco garden.
Happy weekend! Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

One of the few flowering plants that stay with you all year if you care for them. Some people cut the dried stems in late autumn to keep the dried foliage in a vase. I prefer dried hydrangea to the summer flower because of its uniqueness. Texture underlay added (my own). Taken at Riverwood Park.

Maybe view large, and thank you for your favourites. :

A quick final snap at the end of my photo session today and I like it the best of all :-)

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?
June in Japan is the beginning of its "infamous" rainy season. Most days from June into late July are filled with warm, rainy days and cloudy skies. Yet, it is in this rainy period when Japan's second most famous flowers bloom, Hydrangeas.
In the Tokyo Metropolis, three railways are very well known for the hydrangeas that bloom along the line, the Hakone-Tozan Railway, The Keio-Inakashira Line and the Enoshima Electric Railway. Goryo Shrine near Kamakura is a famous spot for hydrangeas, often packed with locals and tourists to view and photograph them. Here, an Enoden Type 1000 Series leads a Fujisawa bound local as it approaches Goryo Shrine.

Last year our hydrangeas bloomed in May This year we have only one of many plants blooming only now.
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.
