This bloom of Hydrangea turned sideways... beautiful and delicate.
I gently brought it in.
The flower spoke to me of essence, the spine.
The blooms quite young.
With love to you and thank you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)

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, (*_*)

hydrangeas in Mum's front garden - maybe I should have been dead-heading them, but decided to take photos instead. While I was taking them it was just me, the camera, the light and obstructions to overcome with background etc. While processing, my mind was drawn back to their and my and Mum's story.
Memories of how Mum wouldn't allow anyone to deadhead them, because she knew best (even though she hated gardening!) and then, reluctantly as she became more and more disabled she allowed me to cut them, while tut-tutting at my more radical pruning style, but accepting that I must know what I was doing because I went (as a mature student) to horticultural college - not realising that garden designers don't learn how to prune hydrangeas. I only know what to do through experience of pruning them.
And now looking at the photo, here they are, and here I am. Mum is a memory. And it is as it is for now.
The trail is bursting with blooming, wild, native oakleaf hydrangea shrubs.

▶ "Hydrangea quercifolia — commonly known as oakleaf hydrangea or oak-leaved hydrangea— is a deciduous shrub with white showy flower heads, in the family Hydrangeaceae, native to the southeastern United States, often in woodland habitats.
Hydrangea quercifolia grows to 3–12 feet tall (0.91–3.66 m). The leaves are yellowish green to dark green on top and silvery-white underneath, turning rich shades of red, bronze, and purple in autumn.
Hydrangea quercifolia flowers are borne in erect panicles [cone-shaped flower clusters] 6–12 inches tall (15.2–30.5 cm) and 3–5 inches wide (7.6–12.7 cm). Flowers age in color from creamy white to pink; by autumn and winter, they are a dry, papery rusty brown. Hydrangea quercifolia and Hydrangea paniculata are the only hydrangeas with panicles; all the others have their flowers in umbels [flat-topped clusters].
Its specific epithet combines the Latin words quercus ('oak') and folium ('leaf'). Although the plant's leaves vaguely resemble larger versions of oak tree leaves, it is not closely related to oak species."

CATALÀ
Hydrangea és un gènere de plantes amb flor de la família Hydrangeaceae. Les espècies d'aquest gènere es coneixen amb el nom comú d'hortènsia. Moltes espècies s'utilitzen com a plantes ornamentals.El gènere Hydrangea inclou plantes ornamentals, comunament conegudes com a hortènsies, natives del sud i l'est d'Àsia (concretament de la Xina, Corea, l'Himàlaia, Indonèsia i el Japó) i d'Amèrica. La diversitat més gran d'espècies d'aquest gènere es troba a les zones de la Xina, Corea i el Japó.
La majoria són arbustos dentre un a tres metres d'alçada, algunes són arbres petits i altres són lianes que poden aconseguir els trenta metres grimpant pels arbres. Poden ser de fulla caduca o de fulla perenne, no obstant les més àmpliament cultivades, que són espècies de climes temperats, són de fulla caduca. Comprèn dues-centes espècies descrites i d'aquestes només quaranta-tres acceptades.
Algunes espècies del gènere Schizophragma també es coneixen amb el nom comú d'hortènsies com és el cas de Schizophragma hydrangeoides'.
Les hortènsies neixen des del començament de la primavera fins a finals de la tardor; aquestes es troben agrupades en rams a l'extrem de les tiges. Cada flor individual d'hortènsia és relativament petita; no obstant això, el desplegament de color està augmentat per un cercle de bràctees modificades al voltant de cada flor.
Les seves flors poden ser roses, blanques, o blaves, depenent en part del pH del sòl.2 En sòls relativament àcids, amb pH entre 4,5 i 5, les flors es fan blaves; en terres més alcalins, amb pH entre 6 i 6,5, les flors adquireixen un color rosa; i en sòls alcalins amb pH al voltant de 8, les flors creixen blanques.
