I love the papery texture here.

Hydrangea arborescens 'Annabelle' hortensia

Nu liggen ze door de vele regen plat op de grond en de bloemen zijn al naar groen verkleurd .

This is the ghost of a flower and even though its life is over, it retains a haunting beauty! I forgot to prune off the spent blossoms of this Hydrangea after it flowered last summer. It had the most brilliant, electric blue mophead blooms I have ever seen. It will have a good long rest, for now it won't bloom again until I give it a good haircut.

I'm in the market for some great glass.....this is my first ever shot with a macro. It's a Canon 100mm 2.8L that I rented to try before I buy....very much fun to shoot with!

Thank you for your likes & fav's!

My mom has the most gorgeous hydrangea bushes. They do NOTHING to them - no water, no weeding, no pruning - and every year they are more beautiful than the last. Dammit I forgot to pick a bouquet to bring home. I have a puny little pink bush whose blooms would look lovely with the blue...

A friend gave me this lovely bouquet of Hydrangea. She knows how much I love them, but have trouble growing these in the tropics here.
