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
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've posted the raw shot of this Lace-cap Hydrangea before (see Page 6 of my Photostream), but did some processing on it now to get rid of the wall behind. I upped the shadows almost all the way, and brought up the fill light to bring back the flower. It think it turned out at least interesting.
Autumn in my garden - Hydrangeas changing colors

My hydrangeas faded horribly - then this one has changed to its autumn colours & almost returned to its original deep red.
A hydrangea flower newly blooming in late September while his older brothers and sisters are already turning pink and then brown.
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.
With immense flower heads, hydrangeas flaunt an old-fashioned charm that is hard to resist. Colors also beguile with clear blues, vibrant pinks, frosty whites, lavender, and rose—sometimes all blooming on the same plant!
The colors of some hydrangeas—especially mophead and lacecap—can change color based on the soil pH, which affects relative availability of aluminum ions. Acidic soils with a pH of less than 5.5 produce blue flowers; soils with a pH greater than 5.5 product pink flowers. White flowers are not affected by pH.
Unrivaled in the shrub world, these elegant ladies are easy to cultivate, tolerate almost any soil, and produce flowers in mid-summer through fall (when little else may be in bloom). Hydrangeas are excellent for a range of garden sites from group plantings to shrub borders to containers.
There are two flower arrangements in hydrangeas with Corymb style inflorescens, which includes the commonly grown Bigleaf hydrangea - Hydrangea macrophylla. Mophead flowers are large round flowerheads resembling pom-poms or, as the name implies, the head of a mop. In contrast, lacecap flowers bear round, flat flowerheads with a center core of subdued, small flowers surrounded by outer rings of larger flowers having showy sepals or tepals. The flowers of some rhododendrons and viburnums can appear, at first glance, similar to those of some hydrangeas.
