Hydrangea / Gartenhortensie (Hydrangea macrophylla)

in our garden - Frankfurt-Nordend

More pictures, showing the diversity of this plant species throughout the whole year, in my Hydrangea Collection

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?

Yhanks for your visit and comments I appreciate that very much

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.

Hydrangea

Thanks for your visit and comments I appreciate that very much.

This picture was taken at Fujigaoka Park in Fujigaoka 2-chome, Aoba-ku, Yokohama.

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

Thanks for looking! Isn't God a great artist?

A smile happens in a flash. Its memory lasts forever! Keep smiling my friends =)

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

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

Every year I take some dried Hydrangea flower heads inside the house for decoration.

After some months, due to dust and tiny spider cobwebs, they are moved to the compost heap.

The "Smile on Saturday" challenge theme "get nature in your home!" came just in time to take this macro.

This photo was taken inside the house, camera in one hand, flower between two fingertips of the other one !

This morning in my garden I was surprised to see for the first time this spectacular colour of an hydrangea really violet ! No saturation added !

From my garden

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.

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 !
