My Hydrangea is in peak bloom so I thought I'd put together a summerish still life, and play with my lights.

Change the pH of your soil and you change the color of hydrangea. Acidic soil with pH lower than 6.0 gives us blue or lavender-blue. While alkaline soil with pH over 7.0 gives us pink and red blooms. Hydrangea are one of the few flowers that change color relative to the pH of the soil they grow in.
Lacecap hydrangeas are a form of Hydrangea macrophylla. They are characterized by tiny fertile flowers in the center surrounded by showy sterile sepals that can be blue, purple, pink, red or white. The fertile flowers and surrounding sepals may be two different colors. Lacecaps tend to bloom earlier in the season than mopheads. This "Nachtigall" or "Nightingale" variety of Lacecap is compact and bushy with broadly ovate, toothed, veined, dark green leaves and large, flattened clusters of purple-blue flowers in summer.
This photograph was taken in natural light only. This photographer waited patiently for the decisive moment when, after a mid-day rain, the sunlight filtered through trees which grew directly above and shaded the hydrangea.

Hydrangea, common names hydrangea or hortensia) is a genus of 70-75 species of flowering plants native to Asia and the Americas. By far the greatest species diversity is in eastern Asia, notably Korea, China, and Japan. Most are shrubs 1-3m tall, but some are small trees, and others lianas reaching up to 30m by climbing up trees. They can be either deciduous or evergreen, though the widely-cultivated temperate species are all deciduous.
Having been introduced to the Azores, H. macrophylla is now very common, particularly on Faial, which is known as the "blue island" due to the vast number of hydrangeas present on the island.
‘Hydrangea’ is derived from Greek and means ‘water vessel’, which is in reference to the shape of its seed capsules. The earlier name, Hortensia, is a Latinised version of the French given name Hortense, referring to the wife of Jean-André Lepaute.
In most species the flowers are white, but in some species (notably H. macrophylla), can be blue, red, pink, light purple, or dark purple. In these species the colour is affected by the presence of aluminium ions which are available or tied up depending upon the soil pH.
This example of H. macrophylla, called "Bouquet Rose," was seen in the grounds of Wakehurst, a house and botanic gardens in West Sussex, England, owned by the National Trust but used and managed by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

Hydrangea (/haɪˈdreɪndʒ(i)ə/;[1] common names hydrangea or hortensia) is a genus of 70-75 species of flowering plants native to southern and eastern Asia (China, Japan, Korea, the Himalayas, and Indonesia) and the Americas. By far the greatest species diversity is in eastern Asia, notably China, Japan, and Korea. Most are shrubs 1 to 3 meters tall, but some are small trees, and others lianas reaching up to 30 m (98 ft) by climbing up trees. They can be either deciduous or evergreen, though the widely cultivated temperate species are all deciduous.

Parkanlage Tannenweg
Sie wird normalerweise bis 1,5 Meter hoch
Hier 3 Meter breit.
Der Begriff Hortensie entspringt dem lat. hortensius (abgeleitet von hortus für Garten) mit der Bedeutung „zum Garten gehörig, Garten-“.
-
Die Wildformen stammen aus Japan. Viele Sorten werden als Zierpflanze verwendet. Charakteristisch sind die schirmförmigen Blütenstände, deren Schauapparat von sterilen Blüten mit großen, gefärbten Kelchblättern gebildet wird.
Die Hortensien sind eine Pflanzengattung in der Familie der Hortensiengewächse.
Sorten einiger ihrer Arten sind beliebte Ziersträucher. Die in Mitteleuropa bekannteste darunter ist die Gartenhortensie
-
Die Farbe der Kelchblätter variiert in Abhängigkeit vom pH-Wer des Bodens. Wachsen Gartenhortensien auf sauren Böden, entwickeln sie eine blaue Färbung. Alkalische Böden führen zu einer roten Blütenfarbe.
Die Intensität der Färbung ist je nach Sorte unterschiedlich stark ausgeprägt. Manche Exemplare blühen rein Weiß.
-
Hovaria Hobella: Blüht in pastellfarbenen Rosatönen, Blüten bis 25 Zentimeter groß. Blüten verfärben sich grün und rot. Wächst zwischen 100 und 150 Zentimeter hoch.

Hydrangeas are popular shrubs with colorful flowers that bloom through summer and into fall. They usually bloom in shades of blue, purple, pink and white.
