Hydrangea macrophylla (アジサイ) in my next-door neighbor's garden on a rainy day

Hydrangea

Hydrangea macrophylla - It was growing in an extremely sunny location in Putnam County, Carmel,NY. The flower heads were big and pink, blue, lavender or a mixture of these colors! It is also known as: lacecap hydrangea or mophead hydrangea or bigleaf hydrangea.

Fading hydrangea, on their way out, (kind of like summertime) but still pretty, sitting on an old weathered table in the yard at my sister's vacation house.

Long day today ... 3 hour drive to soccer, soccer game with too much sun and wind (3-0 win, YEY!), then back to college to take my daughter to dinner, then to Walmart to buy YET MORE STUFF to shove into her dorm room, then drive home. Tomorrow we do it again. I'm going to get really sick of sitting in the car. Now...wishing I had put sunscreen on my face and not just on my arms, I am going to bed and hoping my face won't still be BRIGHT RED in the morning. (what a dope I am!)

Hydrangeas are deciduous shrubs or small trees. They are grown for their beautiful domed or flattened flowers which appear in mid-summer for a month.

The flowers normally consist of a mass of fertile flowers surrounded by infertile flowers which give the hydrangea its large flower heads. Some varieties however have almost all sterile flowers.

Hydrangea arborescens and quercifolia are natives of North America, Hydrangea serratifolia is native to South America. The remainder of hydrangeas are natives East Asia.

A hydrangea is a flower which represents the Japanese early summer.

The back of the flower has a tiny bag. So in them you can put fragrance or jewelry etc...

The material is called Chirimen, a special crepe a little heavier than normal fabric used in making Kimono.

Hydrangea 'Marechal Foch' blooms the second summer.

Hydrangeas seem to be very popular with my customer's. Very understandable since I love the flower myself :).
