Did I tell you my wife likes to grow hydrangeas? Well, she does. We have hydrangeas all around our yard. I have to admit, they do make good photo subjects. Especially when they're gently kissed by sunrise light, as this one was. ;-)

Hydrangea Paniculate blooms, seen here at RHS Bridgewater. This hydrangea species is native to East Asia.
RHS Bridgewater covers over 150 acres, and was previously the site of Worsley New Hall, once home to Francis Egerton, Duke of Bridgewater. The estate is now owned entirely by the royal horticultural society, and is open to visitors.
The hydrangea bush outside our beach house had every color of flower on it - I liked this pink-purple blend
Good morning ! We couldn't see milky way due to cloudy sly last night.
Tanabata (七夕, meaning "Evening of the seventh"), also known as the Star Festival. According to legend, the Milky Way separates these lovers, and they are allowed to meet only once a year on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month of the lunisolar calendar.

Marginally hardy exotics thrive in Nymans' sheltered microclimate
Nymans is an English garden in Handcross, Sussex. It was developed, starting in the late 19th century, by three generations of the Messel family, and was brought to renown by Leonard Messel.
In 1953 Nymans became a National Trust property. Nymans is the origin of many sports, selections and hybrids, both planned and serendipitous, some of which can be identified by the term nymansensis, "of Nymans". Eucryphia × nymansensis (E. cordifolia × E. glutinosa) is also known as E. "Nymansay". Magnolia × loebneri 'Leonard Messel', Camellia 'Maud Messel' and Forsythia suspensa 'Nymans', with its bronze young stems, are all familiar shrub to gardeners.
History[edit]
In the late 19th century, Ludwig Messel, a member of a German Jewish family, settled in England and bought the Nymans estate, a house with 600 acres on a sloping site overlooking the picturesque High Weald of Sussex. There he set about turning the estate into a place for family life and entertainment, with an Arts and Crafts-inspired garden room where topiary features contrast with new plants from temperate zones around the world. Messel's head gardener from 1895 was James Comber, whose expertise helped form plant collections at Nymans of camellias, rhododendrons, which unusually at the time were combined with planting heather (Erica) eucryphias and magnolias. William Robinson advised in establishing the Wild Garden.[2]
His son Colonel Leonard Messel succeeded to the property in 1915 and replaced the nondescript Regency house with the picturesque stone manor, designed by Sir Walter Tapper and Norman Evill in a mellow late Gothic/Tudor style. He and his wife Maud (daughter of Edward Linley Sambourne) extended the garden to the north and subscribed to seed collecting expeditions in the Himalayas and South America.
The garden reached a peak in the 1930s and was regularly opened to the public. The severe reduction of staff in World War II was followed in 1947 by a disastrous fire in the house, which survives as a garden ruin. The house was partially rebuilt and became the home of Leonard Messel's daughter[3] Anne Messel and her second husband the 6th Earl of Rosse. At Leonard Messel's death in 1953 it was willed to the National Trust with 275 acres of woodland, one of the first gardens taken on by the Trust. Lady Rosse continued to serve as Garden Director.
So much rain in one night... all flower heads were filled with water... for some it was too heavy to carry and so they bowed down to the ground. ;-(( The stronger ones like this one are still standing up! ;-))

The Hydrangeas doing 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.

Hi everyone, I hope my post finds you all in good health!
I have missed you all very much...for the last couple of wks I have been ill, with this dreadful virus that's been affecting so many....I hadn't been ill for almost four years but I sure made up for it, with this one lol.
Today is my first day out of bed in almost 2 wks and although I still feel quite weak, it's great to be up.
I will try to get around to visit you all and see what you've been up to!
Stay well, stay happy!
With Love

Hydrangea (common names Hydrangea and Hortensia) is a genus of about 70-75 species of flowering plants native to southern and eastern Asia (China, Korea, Japan, the Himalayas, and Indonesia) and North and South America. By far the greatest species diversity is in eastern Asia, notably China, Korea, and Japan. Most are shrubs 1-3 m tall, but some are small trees, and others lianas reaching up to 30 m by climbing up trees. They can be either deciduous or evergreen, though the widely cultivated temperate species are all deciduous.
Hydrangeas are popular ornamental plants, grown for their large flowerheads, with Hydrangea macrophylla being by far the most widely grown with over 600 named cultivars, many selected to have only large sterile flowers in the flowerheads. Some are best pruned on an annual basis when the new leaf buds begin to appear. If not pruned regularly, the bush will become very 'leggy', growing upwards until the weight of the stems is greater than their strength, at which point the stems will sag down to the ground and possibly break. Other species only flower on 'old wood'. Thus new wood resulting from pruning will not produce flowers until the following season.
Hydrangea L. è un genere di piante della famiglia delle Hydrangeaceae, originarie della Cina e del Giappone, comunemente note come ortensie.
Il genere comprende diverse specie di piante legnose arbustive originarie e molto diffuse nelle regioni orientali dell'Asia e dell'Himalaya.
La particolarità di questa pianta sono i fiori, riuniti in infiorescenze più o meno sferiche, dette corimbi o pannocchie, che portano fiori per lo più sterili, soprattutto quelli esterni, per cui sono sostituiti dai sepali, grandi e petaliformi, mentre le altre parti fiorali sono abortite.
La specie Hydrangea macrophilla comprende numerose varietà con grosse infiorescenze globose bianche, rosa, rosse o azzurre, utilizzate per la produzione in vaso o nei giardini
