Hydrangea
The flowers are gradually fading in the garden, but these still have a delicateness (is that even a word?)
A quick wander around the garden experimenting and using a very shallow depth of field.
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.
I took this photo at Vandusen Botanical garden.
The hydrangea walk at Abbotsbury Sub-Tropical Gardens - beautiful - and I don't even *like* hydrangeas much...
ETA Thanks everyone for the explore! My third in the space of a week, and I have no idea why but it's still nice :)
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 mop head and lace-cap hydrangeas are most well-known for their ability to change colour in different soils.
This one seen in my outdoor studio represents all stages of life, some of the petals are brown and curly others in full flower but pushing through are the buds to take the place of the flowers.
My Thanks to all who visit and comment it is appreciated
Seen in the beautiful garden on Isola Bella, Borromean Islands.
Many hydrangeas were blooming, when we were there, mostly in blue and purple.
Many thanks for your visits / comments / faves!
