Saturday Self Challenge
Share your interpretation of nature for our next challenge.
Fauna, flora, anything nature related. Scenes, close-up, the choice is yours. If you can get outside then go and chase nature. If you’re stuck inside then perhaps a leaf, a plant, a pet.
Bonus points if you can capture some lovely bokeh, smooth or otherwise.
It’s not been the best week for weather with thunderstorms rattling through, so I’m glad I got this done early. I must point out that this hydrangea is not ours, for the umpteenth year running the four plants we own have decided that it’s better to produce a good show of leaves, than it is to go to the trouble of flowering. According to the RHS web site, they are easy to grow and take hardly any looking after, I reckon we must be doing something wrong !
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
The bloom of the hydrangeas in my garden is over. It was wonderful!

Got a series of three shots of Boo by these hydrangeas - I know I post a lot of dog photos, so I'm picking just one, this one . . . but it was a really tough choice to make! She's so darn cute in all three of them.
Hydrangea is a genus of more than 70 species of flowering plants native to Asia and the Americas. Hydrangea is also used as the common name for the genus; some (particularly H. macrophylla) are also often called hortensia. The genus was first described from Virginia in North America, but by far the greatest species diversity is in eastern Asia, notably China, Korea, and Japan. Most are shrubs 1–3 m (3 ft 3 in – 9 ft 10 in) tall, but some are small trees, and others lianas reaching up to 30 m (100 ft) by climbing up trees. They can be either deciduous or evergreen, though the widely cultivated temperate species are all deciduous.
The flowers of many hydrangeas act as natural pH indicators, producing blue flowers when the soil is acidic and pink ones when the soil is alkaline.

The showy part of a hydrangea plant. You can see other parts of the same plant, but much less showy.
Thanks for looking! Isn't God a great artist?
The Hydrangeas did very well this year, although in general the heads are smaller probably due to the hot summer.
Now some have been dried and form a lovely dash of colour in the room.
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.
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.
Have a wonderful day and thank you for your comments with all my heart, M, (*_*)
