Older shot of Hydrangea as it was opening up. To create the effect, I first adjusted the colors, then I drew a circle around the flower using the shift key to ensure a perfect circle. Then, I did Select Inverse and duplicated the layer. Next, I did a zoom blur, added noise, converted to black and white, then using Filter, Stylize, Glowing Edges to create the lines. The last thing I did was duplicate the layer again and added a motion blur.
A season of hydrangea is coming. It's always nice to take a photo of flowers :)

I was impressed how well and tall the Hydrangea grow in the gardens around the Village of Volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii.Though not native to Hawai’i, these colorful plants with 8 inch wide "pom-pom" blooms have earned the Hawaiian name “pōpōhau", which means snow-ball. The Hydrangea on the Big Island are mostly of Hydrangea macrophylla. This very popular variety came to Hawai'i from China and can be a wide range of colors, This plant was growing in the yard of the house where we stayed,
Hydrangeas have the magical ability to change their colour depending on the PH levels in different soils.
Hydrangea (/haɪˈdreɪndʒ(i)ə/; common names 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.

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.
Photographed the way I like it, minimal dof, it gives it a lovely sense of mystery, well, I think so...
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.
Sometimes I just 'feeeeeeeeel' like this, a flower image in b&w...
I love the subtle tones, all the varied tones, that give the flower/petals/stems their texture, depth and form, their delectable shapes accentuated, extracted and emphasized without the colour. Don't you agree?
Have a wonderful day and thanx for your comments with all my heart, M, (*_*)

this hydrangea i rescued after the neighbors pulled it out of their yard and left it by the roadside for a few days. i cut it back to nothing and now it's been two - three years and it's finally blooming. i was surprised how blue it was, but it is under fir trees and surrounded by woodchip mulch.
