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.

NORMALLY a girl or woman with an exaggerated sense of self-importance HERE a flower requiring a great deal of attention and excessive effort to maintain beauty, style and image.
A diva is not necessarily difficult to work with, she is just very professional and and has a low tolerance for incompetence...
Yes I was listening again to what this flower had to say, quite obvious he? Between you and me, sshhhh, a bit of a drama queen really! LOL!
Playing with lights again...
Hydrangea macrophylla 'Taube':
alkaline soils encourage pinker blooms and acid soils bluer.
“When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment.
I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower.
I want them to see it whether they want to or not.”
Georgia O'Keeffe quote (American Painter, 1887-1986)

Hydrangeas seem to grow semi-naturally in Madeira. Not sure when the growing season is though - pretty unusual to see one in this state in February
With late-day sun.
I appreciate that in my neighborhood many of the homes show gardens in what Americans call "the front yard", rather than having all the horticulture being in the private space behind the house. Most of these are very small (this being a city, albeit a fairly green one [lots of purposely planted trees]) but they provide interest and beauty for the walker and passerby.
