Hydrangea

Our long hot spell has given way to heavy showers. Most of the hydrangea heads have shrivelled and died in the hot spell but a few days of rain and there is new growth and colour again.

Week 33/52 - Rule of Thirds

The hydrangeas in Cornwall have been outstanding and abundant this year. These were seen on a Sunday afternoon stroll in Penzance.

Have a great weekend :)

Yeah, I've been bothering my wife's hydrangeas again. ;-)

Hydrangea (/haɪˈdreɪndʒiə/; 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 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.

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.

Hydrangea est un genre d'arbustes et d'arbres appartenant à la famille des Hydrangeaceae dont l'espèce la plus connue est une espèce hybride, appelée Hydrangea ×serratophylla (hortensia), obtenue par croisement entre Hydrangea macrophylla et Hydrangea serrata.

This plant seems to greatly appreciate being close to our small fishpond.

A bush in my garden

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, (*_*)
