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, which come in types that can flourish in sun or shade, offer huge bouquets of clustered flowers, in various arrangements from mophead to lacecap from summer through fall. Varieties of hydrangea differ in size of plant and flower shape, flower color, and blooming time.
Happy Thursday!!
Thank you for your visits, kind comments and faves. Always greatly appreciated.

French hydrangeas from our garden although the third one I think is a different kind of hydrangea. Second to the last triptych I have created from Photoshop less than five years ago. I have great difficulty navigating it again and I find Lightroom more user-friendly even by just watching Youtube for instructions. Again, I cannot tell you which kind paper of used!

Bud and leaves of Hydrangea macrophylla
Hydrangea macrophylla by Abraham Jacobus Wendel, 1868
Amacha is a Japanese beverage made from fermented leaves of Hydrangea macrophylla var. thunbergii.
Hydrangeae Dulcis Folium is a drug made from the fermented and dried leaves of H. macrophylla var. thunbergii with possible antiallergic and antimicrobial properties.[14] It also has a hepatoprotective activity by suppression of D-galactosamine-induced liver injury in vitro and in vivo.[15]
Hydrangea macrophylla is included in the Tasmanian Fire Service's list of low flammability plants, indicating that it is suitable for growing within a building protection zone.[16]
Leaf extracts of Hydrangea macrophylla are being investigated as a possible source of new chemical compounds with antimalarial activity.[17][18] 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 in laboratory animals.
For some reason, my two hydrangeas, on different sides of my house, are languishing. One, generally with blue flowers, has none this year. The one under my kitchen window has just this single cluster, but isn’t is beautiful? I guess I should do two soil tests and figure out what these plants are asking for.

The rest of the flowers on this bush are wine-coloured but this little group stayed this colour. and the flowers are really tiny.
my thumb is not green so any houseplants are my DD's. when i bought this house 25+ years ago, the two hydrangea bushes were here and actually bloomed in blue. they haven't bloomed in the last few years but we keep hoping!!

It's too hot when it's sunny,
and we can't cultivate the fields on rainy days.
The rainy season continues for a while.
晴れると暑く、雨の日は畑作業もできず。
もうしばらく梅雨のようですね。

Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... Thanks to you all!
Solargram, developed and printed on the windowsill, fixed in the darkroom. I wrote about it on my blog, in case you wondered how it's done
Hydrangea flowers ... yes.
Foliage ... doesn't match.
I had to look twice at this, as the foliage didn't look quite right. Upon closer inspection, there are hydrangea leaves hidden underneath.
But I don't know what the surrounding foliage is. My cousin thinks it's Ivy.
A good effect though, quite eye catching for the passer by.
For a closer look, please click on the image. Thank you.
