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, (*_*)

The Hydrangea originated in Asia (especially South-East Asia) and the Americas. It is a found in many gardens and has moved from those to be naturalised in different parts of the world.
The Hydrangea is also known as Hortensia, which is infact its proper name in a many languages. While Hydrangea is derived from Greek and means ‘water vessel’, Hortensia comes from the Latin word for garden and means something like "of the garden/belonging to the garden". That name was given to the plant by french botanist Philibert Commerson. It is believed that Commerson meant to honor either mathematician Nicole-Reine 'Hortense' Lepaute or naturalist, and Commerson's partner, Jeanne Baret. Baret may have been the first woman to sail around the world, accompanying Commerson dressed as a man, on an expedition lead by Louis-Antoine de Bougainville.
