The first hydrangea flower of the year hiding at the top of the tree a few days ago. Now branches are bowing under the weight of flowers!
It's a typical plant in this part of Brittany.
Hydrangea is a genus of 70–75 species of flowering plants native to Asia and the Americas. By far the greatest species diversity is in eastern Asia, notably Korea, China, and Japan. Most are shrubs 1 to 3 meters tall, but some are small trees, and others lianas reaching up to 30 m by climbing up trees. Wikipedia

Hydrangea ‘Vanilla Fraise’ is a large-flowering, repeat-blooming type that will produce masses of large white blooms that are truly attractive. Growing to 4-5ft tall, it will brighten up any shady part of your garden.
It flowers all summer long and a added beauty is that their white blooms gradually change colour to become a shrub, bearing a simply breath-taking display of very vibrant pink flowers.
I admired linfrye's hydrangea painting so much I asked her if I could use her photo and painting to practice negative painting. My paintings will never be as loose and painterly as Lins (I tend to overdo), but I reallu enoyed the negative painting. Here is the link to her painting: www.flickr.com/photos/linfrye/5880548848/
