Taken at the JFK Arboretum in Co. Wexford. For my 100 Flowers project which I'm determined to finish before the end of December, just 22 photos to go.

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, (*_*)

I didn't know such an incredible variety of colours and shapes existed in the hydrangea "family".

The lime coloured hydrangea transitions to 3 other colours during its blooming time!!! Amazing.

Hydrangea in autumn colours

@Garden

Have a happy Friday!

This plant is a rather busy photo model. With its different types of blossoms it is hard to resist.

For ODC: Macro of anything

Hydrangea is a genus of 70–75 species of flowering plants native to southern and eastern Asia and the Americas. By far the greatest species diversity is in eastern Asia, notably China, Japan, and Korea.

From my garden.

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 mophead and lace-cap hydrangeas are most well-known for their ability to change colour in different soils.

So many hydrangeas, so little time.

I saw this kind of hydrangea at my contact's photostream and found it very pretty. I wanted to see them by myself. I found it the other day at very close neighboor's yard.

The flower color changes from white to red in a short period.

This is called Kurenai which is a name of one kind of red colors.

There are many hydrangeas blooming here . I realized I have less oportunities to take photos since it is in rainy season now. So I try to go out when it is not raining.
