Die Hydrangea - Faltung habe ich letztes Jahr auf dem Treffen in Freising gelernt. Gigi Gaisbauer hatte einen Workshop so gut gemacht, dass selbst ich mit ein paar kleinen Hilfestellungen gut mitkam. Nochmals herzlichen Dank Gigi!
Die Hydrangea-Faltung ist einfach wunderschön!
I couldn't help myself.
Yesterday I was in Vancouver for an appointment with an eye specialist who I see for diabetic eye care. He gave me the best possible report regarding the state of my eyes and how well I am controlling my blood sugars. YAY!
Afterwards my sister and I went to a nursery (our favourite one). Because Vancouver nurseries are so much better than Squamish nurseries I just couldn't help myself. Let's just say my sister's SUV was quite full coming home.
Purchase photos to follow I'm sure.
Taken with Lensbaby Composer, Sweet 35 Optic. Real toss up between this and B&W, but this one works better I think.
This has been the best year ever for hydrangeas! They come in almost every hue, creating a splash of colour everywhere they're planted, retaining beauty even after they've finished blooming (dried hydrangeas make effective flower arrangements).
Hydrangeas are normally white, but the species we see most often is H. Macrophylla, that produces colours depending on the pH balance of the soil. Acid soil produces blue, alkaline pink, and neutral white or cream.
Hydrangea or hortensia is a genus of 70–75 species of flowering plants native to southern and eastern Asia (China, Japan, Korea, the Himalayas, and Indonesia) and the Americas. By far the greatest species diversity is in eastern Asia, notably China, Japan, and Korea. Most are shrubs 1 to 3 meters tall, but some are small trees, and others lianas reaching up to 30 m (98 ft) by climbing up trees. They can be either deciduous or evergreen, though the widely cultivated temperate species are all deciduous.

Please look also at the next photo as one of these beautiful species was just showing her beauty....
Explored (June 15, 2010; #310). Thank you very much for your kind comments.
Hydrangea macrophylla. As I wrote a few days ago, I got a DSLR. I have several old MF Nikkor lenses for an analog SLR, so I chose a Nikon DSLR. This photo was taken by Ai MicroNikkor 200mm with a close-up lens. I can skip processes of film development and scanning, and also I can check the image immediately. It is so easy and nice. This flower was bloomed in my yard, and was arranged in a vase.

Paper: Unryu treated with mc
I finally got to make the hydrangea! Such an interesting fold. The paper was too soft for me to do more levels. Unryu is pretty but dfifficult for me to fold on a small scale.
