I couldn't help myself.
Yesterday I was in Vancouver for an appointment with an eye specialist who I see for diabetic eye care. He gave me the best possible report regarding the state of my eyes and how well I am controlling my blood sugars. YAY!
Afterwards my sister and I went to a nursery (our favourite one). Because Vancouver nurseries are so much better than Squamish nurseries I just couldn't help myself. Let's just say my sister's SUV was quite full coming home.
Purchase photos to follow I'm sure.
Taken with Lensbaby Composer, Sweet 35 Optic. Real toss up between this and B&W, but this one works better I think.
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.

Hydrangea macrophylla is a species of flowering plant in the family Hydrangeaceae, native to Japan. It is a deciduous shrub growing to 2 m (7 ft) tall by 2.5 m (8 ft) broad with large heads of pink or blue flowers in summer and autumn. Common names include bigleaf hydrangea, French hydrangea, lacecap hydrangea, mophead hydrangea, penny mac and hortensia. It is widely cultivated in many parts of the world in many climates
Climbing Hydrangea, Hydrangea petiolaris. It's native to the woodlands of Japan, the Korean peninsula, and on Sakhalin island of easternmost Siberia in the Russian Far East. It has naturalised in some local woodland, probably as a garden escape. These dry flowers were still on the plant from summer 2018 and when blossoming are a creamy-white.
Collected in Ealing, London, England, UK.

Even hydrangeas are poisonous! I love hydrangeas in all its stages of development and variety of colors. This is about to bust into a full bouquet. Taken right after a rainstorm.

Instructional video: Happy Folding
Paper: Unryu treated with mc
I finally got to make the hydrangea! Such an interesting fold. The paper was too soft for me to do more levels. Unryu is pretty but dfifficult for me to fold on a small scale.
The Hydrangeas did 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, (*_*)

Taken in a private garden here in Daylesford, Victoria (Australia)...after going through my stash of nursery catalogues, I did notice that Yamina Rare Plants at Monbulk (Victoria) listed this plant...I also went back over my notes and found that I pruned it on the 26th of August 2021...removing all thin wispy stems and cutting back thicker stems to encourage a more consistent flowering...Cheers from a very damp, humid Hepburn after recent thunderstorms...JB 🌲🌲🌲☂
