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)
A friend who teaches photography said taking the B&W with the camera's B&W settings would be a better result than later converting the color photo with software. I agree.
While Hydrangeas are considered the unofficial flower of coastal New England, they actually originated in the mountainous Japanese islands. They have their greatest species diversity in Japan, China, Korea, Indonesia, and the Himalayas. It is believed in some Asian circles, that giving the gift of a hydrangea is giving a piece of your heart to someone.
I tried some watercolours... 2 small flowers of Hydrangea paniculata "Unique". The one above is the first, the bottom one was the second flower I made. It is much better I think....

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.

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.

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