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.

Hydrangea designed by Shuzo Fujimoto and folded by me.

It seems every time I look at this hydrangea in our front yard, I'm reaching for my camera again. It really is a work of art with a different beauty every time the light changes. This was on a cloudy day just after a shower. Regardless of the light, the word "elegant" always comes to mind.

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.

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.

Hydrangeas aloways look vintage.

I love the dulled colors here.

These days, I keep to take these dead hydrangea, and it is very difficult to catch right light, i tried to take various faces of this plant. It was fun !

 

Please have beautiful weekend :)

 

That is the corner of the cottage that we stayed in while at Cape Cod. The beach was just a short walk away. Hydrangea is a common plant for Cape Cod gardens and yards. I can never get enough of them.

Hydrangea just keeps blooming away!

one of the very first shots I took with this camera.

The season of Hydrangea is almost in the end.

It becomes hot in Japan gradually.

Dried hydrangea blossoms left over from last summer. Not exactly a sign of spring, but it's what I found when I went out looking for some flowers to photograph. :-)

Hydrangea Lace Collage

 

Today I spent an hour in the garden, everywhere was horrible and wet and uninspiring. I really needed to get rid of stuff to let the bulbs come through.

Whilst tidying I found a hydrangea head that I thought would look great for some macro photography.

I played around with different coloured gels on the speedlight to light a sheet of crumpled aluminium foil and then added a bit of water spray, both created some lovely bokeh.

I couldn't decide which I liked the most so I made a collage.

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. ;-)
