The hydrangeas are now in bloom and the flowers are multi-colored. The water is from the rain that fell all day yesterday. But the hydrangeas look great!

Hydrangea flowers are produced from early spring to late autumn; they grow in flowerheads (corymbs or panicles) at the ends of the stems. In many species, the flowerheads contain two types of flowers, small fertile flowers in the middle of the flowerhead, and large, sterile bract-like flowers in a ring around the edge of each flowerhead.
I love hydrangeas... they're so beautiful and fussy. These are Lace Cap hydrangeas, not always my favorites, but they were so pretty here.
One of the largest I've ever seen--the flower heads, that is. I cannot give here a sense of scale. About the size of a dinner plate (and those have been growing larger over recent decades)!
I especially loved this hydrangea, partly because it looked like a pansy, not a traditional hydrangea. And partly because it had a lovely shape and colouring.
I love the way my two hydrangea stamps seem to fit in with any type of card layout or theme. Used the Stampin Up Hydrangea stamp here as it fitted on the tag better. Background paper is actually wrapping paper. Seam binding is hand dyed.
