These hydrangeas were well past their prime, but I've never seen such unusually coloured ones, and never have I seen them multicoloured like these were. They were quite amazing in the late afternoon sunlight @ Mt Macedon.
Thanks everyone for your kind messages, I managed to enjoy some time out with the FFF+ gang on Saturday and am doing very short processing sessions! Hopefully I can keep up with your lovely images, even if its only hitting the fav button.
Hydrangea, common names hydrangea or hortensia is a genus of 70–75 species of flowering plants native to Asia and the Americas. It belongs to the Hydrangeaceae family. ‘Hydrangea’ is derived from Greek and means ‘water vessel’, which is in reference to the shape of its seed capsules. By far the greatest species diversity is in eastern Asia, notably Korea, China, and Japan. Most are shrubs 1 to 3 meters tall, but some are small trees, and others reaching up to 30 m by climbing up trees. They can be either deciduous or evergreen, though the widely cultivated temperate species are all deciduous. Flowers are produced from early spring to late autumn; they grow in flowerheads most often at the ends of the stems. 35011
Looking Close... on Friday: Blue on a white background.
Interesting how sometimes the blues go toward green and other times toward mauve with almost the same set-up.

Beautiful pink and blue hydrangeas at the pond in Trebah Garden. They have a valley full of hydrangeas as well as a lot of 'champion' trees: the oldest, the tallest, the widest, ... you name it!
Background texture and butterfly created with Dream by Wombo, blended with my photo of a hydrangea, then further blended and softened with Pastello and PicLight.
Such a short time ago, the Hydrangeas were plump and purple. Now they are fading to various shades of pink, purple, green and yellow, each flower unique in its Autumn colors.
Much appreciation for your comments, awards and faves. Thank you all!

ガク片がくるんと丸まった形はまるで小さな貝殻の様です。元々は病気でガクが丸まったのを品種改良に結び付けた。そんな開発経緯が有ったそうですが、今や人気の紫陽花として世間に名を馳せてます。
