I planted Hydrangeas for my Birthday this year.
They remind me of my Aunt and they will be my remembrance to my Uncle.
Hydrangeas were brought to Europe in 1736 by Peter Collison from the Pennsylvania colony. The name “hydrangea” was given to it because the big flower blooms were thought to look like water pitchers.
This is a photograph of one of my hydrangea shrubs in full bloom. It was taken with a vintage Helios 44-2 lens at f5.6 that still affords me moments of magic.
This one was taken much closer to home, actually in the front yard. A green hydrangea leaf from 2 years ago.
Hydrangea, commonly named the hortensia, is a genus of more than 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.
Hydrangea that my daughter forgot to water....resulted in heart shape...:)
Thank you for your visit, flickr friends, enjoy today!.....Pat...xo
****A long story here if you have time; it's been on my mind especially in these troubled times
About ten years ago in one of my favorite Spanish classes, 12 and 13 year olds...we had a lot of fun while they were learning Spanish:).....In this class was a Muslim boy (very few minorities in our school at that time) who called himself Sam...he wanted to be like the others. Sam had a lot of medical problems from birth, was only three+ feet tall and came to class in a wheelchair, he had an aide accompanying him.
It was a delight to meet with him and his parents for conferences; wonderful people were his parents.
One day Sam and a classmate presented an unmemorized Spanish dialogue; I still remember how 6 foot Zach stooped over to read his part as Sam was holding the dialogue.
The other students treated him like anyone else...except they were unusually gentle with him.
Once a month we as a homeroom, Sam was in my noon homeroom also that year...would cross the street to a local Subway shop for lunch, a highlight for the group! Sam fretted because he did not want to wear the safety strap across the wheelchair...his aide and I had to firmly tell him it was the law. Sam pouted like a middle schooler might:)....but soon was enjoying his sandwich with his friends.
The next year, eighth grade, I didn't have Sam in class or homeroom....by this time he started going by his birth name, Hussein. I would look for him in the cafeteria or hall....noticed he wasn't doing well, an effort for him to speak...he didn't sit up straight in the wheelchair...
In the beginning of the following school year I asked Jackie, his aide, how he was doing and she said.....'He died in August', there was no notice in the newspaper, not unusual for practicing Muslims at that time and perhaps even now..... I had no idea.....I felt great sorrow and every August since then I remember Sam/Hussein.
....and so I will always remember....this unique boy who did his best and provided something special in his Spanish class and in my life too....and as well, his remarkable parents who showed much love for him....
August....x...a time also for a refreshed sense of looking for good amidst the bad today, in looking for positive solutions. My two cents worth....
Climbing hydrangea grows in moist areas of the mountains, clinging to trees and cliffs. They can grow to a height of 5-20m, and their white flowers bloom in wet season in Japan.

Hydrangea petialaris.
蔓紫陽花（ツルアジサイ）は雨や湿気の多い山林で育ち, 高木や岩崖に絡みながら這い登り, 高さ5m～20m位まで成長します。 この蔓紫陽花も大きな杉の木に巻き付いてます。幹や枝に多くの気根を有し空気中の水分を吸収する働き持ってます。梅雨の時期の6月に白い花を多数咲かせますが, 鬱蒼とした林の中で咲くその姿はとても幻想的です。当日は霧雨で靄が発生してくれました。
Photo taken June 28, 2020 on Fuji Pro 400 H film with a Nikkormat FT2 camera and 55mm Nikkor macro lens under ambient light then desaturated and post processed with GIMP 2.10. Film was developed and scanned by Dan's Camera in Allentown, PA.
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, (*_*)

Hydrangeas are popular garden shrubs with delicate heads of flowers in shades of pink, white or blue and pretty autumn colour and leaf shape. The mop head and lace-cap hydrangeas are most well-known for their ability to change colour in different soils.
Smooth hydrangea is widely distributed across the eastern United States—from southern New York to the panhandle of Florida, west to eastern Oklahoma and south-eastern Kansas. It is mainly found in moist soils under a hardwood forest canopy and is often common along woodland road banks and streams. It is common in the Delaware River Valley and in the Appalachian Mountains. This particular shrub was spotted in a garden in Ramsgate Kent UK.
My Thanks to all who visit and comment it is appreciated
“Hydrangea (/haɪˈdreɪndʒə/[3][4] or /haɪˈdreɪndʒiə/[5]) 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.[6] The genus was first described from Virginia in North America,[7] 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.”
