I took a tour of the gardens before the rain began today. The hydrangeas are budding and starting to bloom.
Hydrangeas always remind me of the rainy season in Japan. With the deep colors, these look best on a cloudy humid warm day as opposed to a nice sunny dry day...or so I think. Or maybe it's the image I have in my head.
A White Hydrangea fower dripping with raindrops.
Captured this and about 50 other shots, some of which I will get around to posting, on June 13th with iPhone and Olloclip Macro lens.

The Hydrangea was my Grandma's favorite flower. They don't grow as large here in the midwest as they do in Oregon but I do enjoy my little bush
This image was captured from the lovely tree-form Hydrangea bush gracing our patio. Hand held and natural afternoon light...
Thanks for any views and comments you leave!
Hydrangea is a genus of 70–75 species of flowering plants native to southern and eastern Asia and the Americas. By far the greatest species diversity is in eastern Asia, notably China, Japan, and Korea.
With immense flower heads, hydrangeas flaunt an old-fashioned charm that is hard to resist. Colors also beguile with clear blues, vibrant pinks, frosty whites, lavender, and rose—sometimes all blooming on the same plant!
The colors of some hydrangeas—especially mophead and lacecap—can change color based on the soil pH, which affects relative availability of aluminum ions. Acidic soils with a pH of less than 5.5 produce blue flowers; soils with a pH greater than 5.5 product pink flowers. White flowers are not affected by pH.
Unrivaled in the shrub world, these elegant ladies are easy to cultivate, tolerate almost any soil, and produce flowers in mid-summer through fall (when little else may be in bloom). Hydrangeas are excellent for a range of garden sites from group plantings to shrub borders to containers.
There are two flower arrangements in hydrangeas with Corymb style inflorescens, which includes the commonly grown Bigleaf hydrangea - Hydrangea macrophylla. Mophead flowers are large round flowerheads resembling pom-poms or, as the name implies, the head of a mop. In contrast, lacecap flowers bear round, flat flowerheads with a center core of subdued, small flowers surrounded by outer rings of larger flowers having showy sepals or tepals. The flowers of some rhododendrons and viburnums can appear, at first glance, similar to those of some hydrangeas.
