A hand-held shot of one of the Hydrangea blooms that I am lucky to have gracing the garden at the moment. Taken with a Panasonic Lumix G9 coupled with a Lumix Leica 12-60mm lens.

Hydrangea common names hydrangea or hortensia) is a genus of 70–75 species of flowering plants native to southern and eastern Asia (China, Japan, Korea, the Himalayas, and Indonesia) and the Americas. By far the greatest species diversity is in eastern Asia, notably China, Japan, and Korea. Most are shrubs 1 to 3 meters tall, but some are small trees, and others lianas reaching up to 30 m (98 ft) by climbing up trees. They can be either deciduous or evergreen, though the widely cultivated temperate species are all deciduous
Commonly named the hortensia, is a genus of more than 70 species of flowering plants native to Asia and the Americas.
Hydrangea is derived from Greek and means ‘water 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.

For a slightly cooler look, here is a garden of hydrangeas that used to be filled with lilies but have now been replanted.

38℃とか上がることはほとんどありません。 今年は変な年です。おまけに庭の整理が全くできなくてほとんど装飾花が咲く前に枯れてしまいました。 唯一残ったのがこれ。 これだけで満足。 来年また会いたいな。

Hydrangea commonly named the hortensia, is a genus of more than 70 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.
The flowers of many hydrangea act as natural pH indicators, sporting blue flowers when the soil is acidic and pink ones when the soil is alkaline.
hydrangeas in Mum's front garden - maybe I should have been dead-heading them, but decided to take photos instead. While I was taking them it was just me, the camera, the light and obstructions to overcome with background etc. While processing, my mind was drawn back to their and my and Mum's story.
Memories of how Mum wouldn't allow anyone to deadhead them, because she knew best (even though she hated gardening!) and then, reluctantly as she became more and more disabled she allowed me to cut them, while tut-tutting at my more radical pruning style, but accepting that I must know what I was doing because I went (as a mature student) to horticultural college - not realising that garden designers don't learn how to prune hydrangeas. I only know what to do through experience of pruning them.
And now looking at the photo, here they are, and here I am. Mum is a memory. And it is as it is for now.
