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.

Etymology
The generic name Broussaisia was named in behalf of François-Joseph-Victor Broussais (1772-1838), a celebrated French physician and psycologist.
The specific epithet arguta means "sharp or sharp-tooted," likely referring to the sharp edges of the kanawao leaves.
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
The flowers in the Pacific Northwest were fabulous. These gorgeous pink and fuschia colored hydrangeas were somewhere in the #Sequim area, but we saw them all over the Pacific Northwest.
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
Nat :)
