A stunning display of blue hydrangea flowers in full bloom, surrounded by lush green foliage. The delicate petals and vibrant colors create a serene and picturesque scene.
Last year our hydrangeas bloomed in May This year we have only one of many plants blooming only now.
I have two hydrangeas in my garden. One has not yet bloomed this summer. This hydrangea produced pink flowers last summer and was much taller. This year the flowers range from a purplish-white to blue, like this one.
I've loved hydrangeas ever since I saw my first one decades ago, way before they were so trendy, but I've never seen these little stars. Maybe I've not looked closely enough, or maybe this is a variety I've not seen before. Cool though, eh?
Though it got interrupted last summer, we've gone to Cape Cod every summer for a week with two couples over the past 13 years or so. With vaccinations, we were able to do it again this year and just returned from a magical week. Four of us are grandparents now, and 3 of us were actually toddlers together as our Moms were best friends. Hopefully we can age with some grace in the way this hydrangea exemplifies in my friends' Wellfleet garden.
I captured this while on a walk in a nearby park with my Nikon D70.
Before I started photography, I didn't know much about plants and wondered, "Is this a hydrangea too?" After some research, I found out it's a type of lacecap hydrangea. Photography always teaches me something new about the nature around me.
Our hydrangea is sort of a non-descript colour, being neither pink nor blue, but I often think of it as pearl.
