Hydrangea | B/W
It was a lazy Saturday morning and I went to our lawn to look for flowers for macro photography.
Hydrangea, common names hydrangea or hortensia is a genus of 70–75 species of flowering plants native to Asia and the Americas. It belongs to the Hydrangeaceae family. ‘Hydrangea’ is derived from Greek and means ‘water vessel’, which is in reference to the shape of its seed capsules. 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 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. Flowers are produced from early spring to late autumn; they grow in flowerheads most often at the ends of the stems. 12896

The season of Hydrangea is almost in the end.
It becomes hot in Japan gradually.
アジサイの季節もそろそろ終盤ですね。
大鐘家は県内の有数のスポットです。
Makinohara city, Shizuoka pref, Japan
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.

Hydrangea macrophylla is a species of flowering plant in the family Hydrangeaceae, native to Japan. It is a deciduous shrub growing to 2 m (7 ft) tall by 2.5 m (8 ft) broad with large heads of pink or blue flowers in summer and autumn.
This is among the survivors from last winter, one of the six pink blossoms from four bushes, a historical low, so dearly treasured.
[syn. Broussaisia arguta]
Kanawao
Hydrangeaceae (Hydrangea family)
Endemic genus to the Hawaiian Islands (All the main islands except Niʻihau and Kahoʻolawe)
Kaʻala, Oʻahu
These are pistillate (female) flowers. Dark red to maroon or purplish fruits will soon develop. The fruits are plentiful and mildly sweet or bland.
Male (staminate) flowers

The fruits and flowers were eaten by early Hawaiians.
Etymology
Tha 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.
This Hydrangea photo was shot as found in a local plant nursery.

I am lucky to have a blossom this year--this hydrangea blooms only occasionally as the winters are usually too harsh and I have to trim the dead wood. Last winter--though snowy--was not extremely cold.
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. ;-)
