Hydrangea

Summer in the Southern Highlands, New South Wales, 4/1/2019

Also known as Hortensia. I love the varied blues of this cultivar.

Happy Bokeh Wednesday! Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.

Well, my wife's hydrangeas are blooming. She's really quite good at growing them. And I'm trying to get better at shooting them. ;-)

One garden full of Hydrangeas, but all different colours!

The one on the bottom right is a Lace Cap Hydrangea unlike the others.

I did the top and bottom collages in iPiccy and then joined them together with PhotoScape.

Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)

Hydrangea or hortensia is a genus of 70–75 species of flowering plants native to southern and eastern Asia (China, Japan, Korea, the Himalayas, and Indonesia) and the Americas. By far the greatest species diversity is in eastern Asia, notably China, Japan, and Korea. 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.

I have never paid attantion to hydrangea's stems - have you?

I thought all of their stems were just green, but this one is red (or burgundy). I was kind of surprised.

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 - Thank You for Understanding.

Have a wonderful day and thank you for your comments with all my heart, M, (*_*)

Some of the Hydrangeas in Yakushiike Park started blooming.

This Hydrangea photo was shot as found in a local plant nursery.

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.
