Good morning ! We couldn't see milky way due to cloudy sly last night.
Tanabata (七夕, meaning "Evening of the seventh"), also known as the Star Festival. According to legend, the Milky Way separates these lovers, and they are allowed to meet only once a year on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month of the lunisolar calendar.
So much rain in one night... all flower heads were filled with water... for some it was too heavy to carry and so they bowed down to the ground. ;-(( The stronger ones like this one are still standing up! ;-))
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 :)
Hydrangea (common names Hydrangea and Hortensia) is a genus of about 70-75 species of flowering plants native to southern and eastern Asia (China, Korea, Japan, the Himalayas, and Indonesia) and North and South America. By far the greatest species diversity is in eastern Asia, notably China, Korea, and Japan. Most are shrubs 1-3 m tall, but some are small trees, and others lianas 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.
Hydrangeas are popular ornamental plants, grown for their large flowerheads, with Hydrangea macrophylla being by far the most widely grown with over 600 named cultivars, many selected to have only large sterile flowers in the flowerheads. Some are best pruned on an annual basis when the new leaf buds begin to appear. If not pruned regularly, the bush will become very 'leggy', growing upwards until the weight of the stems is greater than their strength, at which point the stems will sag down to the ground and possibly break. Other species only flower on 'old wood'. Thus new wood resulting from pruning will not produce flowers until the following season.
Hydrangea L. è un genere di piante della famiglia delle Hydrangeaceae, originarie della Cina e del Giappone, comunemente note come ortensie.
Il genere comprende diverse specie di piante legnose arbustive originarie e molto diffuse nelle regioni orientali dell'Asia e dell'Himalaya.
La particolarità di questa pianta sono i fiori, riuniti in infiorescenze più o meno sferiche, dette corimbi o pannocchie, che portano fiori per lo più sterili, soprattutto quelli esterni, per cui sono sostituiti dai sepali, grandi e petaliformi, mentre le altre parti fiorali sono abortite.
La specie Hydrangea macrophilla comprende numerose varietà con grosse infiorescenze globose bianche, rosa, rosse o azzurre, utilizzate per la produzione in vaso o nei giardini

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, (*_*)

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. ;-)

There few more flower photos that took today on my website at this link www.thebrewstop.co.uk/july-2023-day-gallery/7thjuly.htm
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.
The hydrangeas in our backyard are thriving, thanks to my wife. ;-)
