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.
Hydrangea macrophylla are native in Japan.
>>> Their Leaf extracts are being investigated as a possible source of new chemical compounds with antimalarial activity. Hydrangeic acid from the leaves is being investigated as a possible anti-diabetic drug as it significantly lowered blood glucose, triglyceride, and free fatty acid levels

A change in tone from last week's shot here are some nice soft pastels with mixed hydrangea blossoms and old glass bottles on a marble floor tile.
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, (*_*)

Starting to fade already but I always love them at this stage just as much as when they're at their best around Christmas time.
Of course we're talking southern hemisphere ...

We don't do traditional Christmas decorations in our house any more, however the dining room table is always decorated with our Christmas flowers - the hydrangeas, which are blooming just in time this year
MERRY CHRISTMAS !

I took this in the park on E's birthday - I've been looking for a hydrangea to photograph (inspired by the lovely Tracey) and this was the best I could find. I put a couple in my garden this year but they haven't really got going yet.
Thanks to ghostbones for the textures - I've had fun processing this tonight for sad bokeh friday and HNFF!
I'm so honoured that this was chosen to be TWTME icon of the day!
