Late blooming hydrangea. This little plant seems to be a few weeks behind the other hydrangea in our area but is providing a small splash of colour.

During the summer, the blossoms of this climbing hydrangea are totally white. Once the weather becomes cooler, the petals begin to match the woody stem of the plant. That is when you can see the tiny veins more readily.

- rather a challenging theme and the garden came to my rescue

This is from a pot I have under the barbecue,
when I uncover the patio furniture the Hydrangea is full of buds.
I'm always astounded at the beauty and detail of nature.
This is the backside of an Hydrangea leaf with the sun shining through.
With my left hand I lifted the leaf toward the sun, with my right hand I held my camera and macro lens, capturing this amazing design...
Enlarge for the best view!
The long cool spring means that many hydrangea flowers started blooming late this season. This is among the earlier ones. The one to the lower RHS corner is still all green.
There are no hydrangeas in my own garden, but several of my neighbors have large bushes in their yards. Now, I've been known to break off a blossom or two from flowering plants alongside a path. However, people really frown on other people wandering into one's garden to snitch a pretty posy or two. I was quite satisfied to capture the flowers growing alongside the road. I'm sure my friend was pleased I made that choice as well.
Hydrangea common names hydrangea or hortensia, is a genus of over 75 species of flowering plants native to Asia and the Americas. By far the greatest species diversity is in eastern Asia, notably China, Korea, and Japan.
