This year, this blue hydrangea is the star of my balcony! It's my latest acquisition and a lovely birthday gift! The flowers continually change in colour. So fascinating!
While I was taking this picture a lady walked by with an armload of flowers. She stopped and said "I see you're taking photos of our famous hydrangeas"
"Famous hydrangeas?" I asked.
"Yes, painters from all over Spain come to our village to paint these hydrangeas," and she walked on.
It appears I have excellent taste in hydrangeas.
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.

Variation on Shuzo Fujimoto's hydrangea by Meenakshi Mukerji. She generously shared a hint how to make it with me. I really love the result! :)
In fact it's using the same idea as my hydrangea ribbon box, but I wasn't even thinking about it... And it's so simple and ingenious little change! Wonderful! :)
As I just realized, Sara Adams already made an instructional video for this model...
