Hydrangea

Pink hydrangea flowers, with the large showy ones outside the small fertile (I think) ones.

Thank you for looking. Isn't God a great artist?

Hydrangea macrophylla is a species of flowering plant in the family Hydrangeaceae, native to Japan. It is a deciduous shrub growing to 2 m tall by 2.5 m broad with large heads of pink or blue flowers in summer and autumn. ,

The bloom of blue hydrangea.

This species retains something of Hydrangea macrophylla f. normalis (‘Gaku-ajisai’ in Japanese), the original species of various hydrangea cultivars.

A eather unusual one but I think it was a hydrangea. Taken in St James`s Park in September.

Love the colours of the hydrangea blooms in autumn :)

Thanks for all the lovely comments and faves on my images. I look forward to catching up with everyone this evening :)

Thank you, Odile for the lace and spools🌸

Hydrangea are in bloom and we have white and blue blooms. This little bit came from our neighbor's garden, I quite like the bits of pink in the petals.

The fertile flowers of Hydrangeas can have pink or blue petals. These are both colors, as you can see.

From my garden

Hydrangea leaves can be large (about hand size, in this case) and beautiful. They can have different shapes. This is an oakleaf hydrangea.

Hydrangea, commonly named the hortensia, is a genus of more than 75 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.

I like the leaf structures of the Hydrangea in winter time

The original photo is in comments... rolled up and slid some more for Sliders Sunday.

The umbrella decorated with hydrangea fair. Today was fine day, so the tone of the wind bell was pleasant.

アジサイフェアで傘の装飾がされていました。今日は晴天でしたので、風鈴の涼やかな音色が心地よかったです。

Hydrangea

in a container in my garden. I do love this colour - I have two containers with hydrangeas, the other flowers are pink. I've no idea why this should be, just 'luck' I expect 😃 !

Slightly edited in Topaz Studio.

Thank you for your visit - I hope you like my macro.

Enjoy what's left of our summer !

Happy Sliders Sunday
