Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment and favoring my images. Enjoy the day.
I planted Hydrangeas for my Birthday this year.
They remind me of my Aunt and they will be my remembrance to my Uncle.
... these newly-planted ones play their part in this lakeshore planting, Montalto Estate, Co. Down. Hard to imagine that this estate was the site of the Battle of Ballynahinch during the 1798 Rebellion.
Hydrangea, commonly named the hortensia, is a genus of more than 70 species of flowering plants native to Asia and the Americas. By far the greatest species diversity is in eastern Asia, notably China, Korea, and Japan. Most are shrubs 1–3 m (3 ft 3 in – 9 ft 10 in) tall, but some are small trees, and others lianas reaching up to 30 m (100 ft) by climbing up trees. They can be either deciduous or evergreen, though the widely cultivated temperate species are all deciduous.
The flowers of many hydrangea act as natural pH indicators, sporting blue flowers when the soil is acidic and pink ones when the soil is alkaline.

Hydrangea, commonly named hortensia, is a genus of more than 70 species of flowering plants native to Asia and the Americas. The flowers of many hydrangea act as natural pH indicators. Hydrangea flower color can change based on the pH in soil. Soil with a pH of 5.5 or lower will produce blue flowers, a pH of 6.5 or higher will produce pink hydrangeas, and soil in between 5.5 and 6.5 will have purple hydrangeas. White hydrangeas, however, cannot be color-manipulated by soil pH because they do not produce pigment for color.

Trying for a different idea on a Hydrangea here so took the flower buds rather than the flowers.
Thank you for your favourites. :O)
Just a couple of weeks ago in the Lakes and the hydrangeas still had lots of colour. Pretty sure it'll all be gone now though!
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, (*_*)

Pink hydrangea overlaid with texture.
Climbing hydrangea grows in moist areas of the mountains, clinging to trees and cliffs. They can grow to a height of 5-20m, and their white flowers bloom in wet season in Japan.

Hydrangea petialaris.
蔓紫陽花（ツルアジサイ）は雨や湿気の多い山林で育ち, 高木や岩崖に絡みながら這い登り, 高さ5m～20m位まで成長します。 この蔓紫陽花も大きな杉の木に巻き付いてます。幹や枝に多くの気根を有し空気中の水分を吸収する働き持ってます。梅雨の時期の6月に白い花を多数咲かせますが, 鬱蒼とした林の中で咲くその姿はとても幻想的です。当日は霧雨で靄が発生してくれました。
