Hydrangeas are what I consider to be good value plants , as once established they will flower prolifically for months . This one is just in its second year, in my garden , but doing well.

One to tick off my list to photograph :) I saw and bought the most beautiful stems of Hydrangeas

Playing with my macro lens 90mm in my garden, this beautiful hydrangea teller blue are blooming until late august.

Growing in my garden. I think the wee spots on the petals are because of the unusually dry conditions recently.

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.

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

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 :)

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?

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 !

Have a great weekend!

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