Autumn in my garden - Hydrangeas changing colors

I really like hydrangeas and the shades of colour sometimes found in just one flower cluster.
It's come to my attention that I've grown three hydrangeas to the point of being too big to live in a pot. In each case I've given the plant away to someone who will put it in the ground.
They grow consistently well for me and here is plant #4 bought since I moved here in December of 2013.
Sepia: "Sepia is a reddish-brown color, named after the rich brown pigment derived from the ink sac of the common cuttlefish Sepia."
-- Wikipedia
Note: This photo's color has not been manipulated. This is the current natural color of our hydrangea bush as it has entered its autumn cycle. (Beautiful early afternoon light doesn't hurt.)
With late-day sun.
I appreciate that in my neighborhood many of the homes show gardens in what Americans call "the front yard", rather than having all the horticulture being in the private space behind the house. Most of these are very small (this being a city, albeit a fairly green one [lots of purposely planted trees]) but they provide interest and beauty for the walker and passerby.
My hydrangeas faded horribly - then this one has changed to its autumn colours & almost returned to its original deep red.

The Hydrangeas doing 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, (*_*)
