👎 Rejection:
Alas, poor BLUE hydrangea! On 29 May 2025, the administrator for the Flickr group "Flowers/blossoms in blue - Blumen/Blüten In blau" rejected this photo for NOT displaying a blue flower. With no recourse for appeal (the administrator had disabled discussion), I left the group.

In Japan, hydrangeas usually bring to mind the rainy season.
Here in Vancouver, they bloom under clear blue skies instead.
I always enjoy seeing these delicate mountain hydrangeas glowing in the summer sunshine.
Hydrandeas are one of my favourite shrubs,I love the colour of this one...
Thank you for the visits comment's & favourites my friends! Hope you have all had a lovely Christmas holiday...
Best viewed large..
The calendar says fall, but the temps say summer is hanging on, just like this last Hydrangea bloom. I took this on 9/22 and it is still in bloom today. HCS!
This beautiful blue lace cap hydrangea was at our gite in Saint-Mayeux, Cotes-d'Armor, Brittany. This was one of my favorites among hundreds of hydrangeas we saw in France, due to its true blue color and lace cap.
Have a great Wednesday! Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

The name Hydrangea is taken from the Greek language, meaning ‘water vessel’, in reference to the shape of its seed capsules. This is the first time in four years that this plant has flowered, usually (along with three others) it’s been a wonderful display of green leaves. The last time they did bloom the flowers were blue, they’ve all been repotted and now the flowers are pink. I think I have this the right way round, the higher the acidity of the soil the flowers will be blue, the higher the alkaline content of the soil, the flowers produced will be pink. I was hoping for blue, but I’ve obviously got the wrong compost.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
My upload for a weekly challenge I'm doing with a group of Flickr friends. This week's theme is purple.
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, (*_*)
