Hydrangea (/haɪˈdreɪndʒiə/; common names hydrangea or hortensia) is a genus of 70–75 species of flowering plants native to Asia and the Americas. By far the greatest species diversity is in eastern Asia, notably Korea, China, and Japan. 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.
Having been introduced to the Azores, H. macrophylla is now very common, particularly on Faial, which is known as the "blue island" due to the vast number of hydrangeas present on the island.
‘Hydrangea’ is derived from Greek and means ‘water vessel’, which is in reference to the shape of its seed capsules. The earlier name, Hortensia, is a Latinised version of the French given name Hortense, referring to the wife of Jean-André Lepaute.
Hydrangeas are popular garden shrubs that originate from Japan.
A wide range of cultivars are available for the gardener to choose.

i have two hydrangea plants in my yard.
one produces pink flowers.
the other purple.
this plant is over a foot tall...
and has quite a few flower buds...
that haven't opened yet.
these two blooms will continue to grow in size...
and the pink color will become much more vivid.

Our long hot spell has given way to heavy showers. Most of the hydrangea heads have shrivelled and died in the hot spell but a few days of rain and there is new growth and colour again.

yes, for me folding hydrangea really means to find inner peace
hands know what to do, mind could fly away...
as a response to Filip Mazur's little hydrangea, folded in the deep night
6 layers from 5 cm square of thin metalic paper, very good for this, final size cca 2,6 cm

Well, long time no see.
I know my personality well enough to know that there are times when I don't post any pictures at all.
These past days the only thing in my mind was an exhibition held by the Czech Origami Society in a small town named Vítkov(about 6,000 inhabitants) which is pretty unimportant but since this is the first time my works are publicly displayed.... moreover I am one of three people who prepared this exhibition and it is more likely an exhibition of the three of us then of the Czech Origami Society. I was almost literally folding day and night and in the end I didn't take photos of the models I had folded which is now driving me crazy that the next time I will see my work again is in another two weeks.
Anyway, my walls and shelves got empty so I started folding the next day.
I used a bit more transparent paper which came in handy because the observer is delighted by the backlight effect. This way no one sees how poorly folded it is :D
Finally, of course I am not so clever to come up with such a beautiful pattern by myself so I got my inspiration here at flickr of Dáša Ševerová.
