Hydrangea (common names Hydrangea and Hortensia) is a genus of about 70-75 species of flowering plants native to southern and eastern Asia (China, Korea, Japan, the Himalayas, and Indonesia) and North and South America. By far the greatest species diversity is in eastern Asia, notably China, Korea, and Japan. Most are shrubs 1-3 m tall, but some are small trees, and others lianas 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.
Hydrangeas are popular ornamental plants, grown for their large flowerheads, with Hydrangea macrophylla being by far the most widely grown with over 600 named cultivars, many selected to have only large sterile flowers in the flowerheads. Some are best pruned on an annual basis when the new leaf buds begin to appear. If not pruned regularly, the bush will become very 'leggy', growing upwards until the weight of the stems is greater than their strength, at which point the stems will sag down to the ground and possibly break. Other species only flower on 'old wood'. Thus new wood resulting from pruning will not produce flowers until the following season.
Hydrangea L. è un genere di piante della famiglia delle Hydrangeaceae, originarie della Cina e del Giappone, comunemente note come ortensie.
Il genere comprende diverse specie di piante legnose arbustive originarie e molto diffuse nelle regioni orientali dell'Asia e dell'Himalaya.
La particolarità di questa pianta sono i fiori, riuniti in infiorescenze più o meno sferiche, dette corimbi o pannocchie, che portano fiori per lo più sterili, soprattutto quelli esterni, per cui sono sostituiti dai sepali, grandi e petaliformi, mentre le altre parti fiorali sono abortite.
La specie Hydrangea macrophilla comprende numerose varietà con grosse infiorescenze globose bianche, rosa, rosse o azzurre, utilizzate per la produzione in vaso o nei giardini

Good morning ! We couldn't see milky way due to cloudy sly last night.
Tanabata (七夕, meaning "Evening of the seventh"), also known as the Star Festival. According to legend, the Milky Way separates these lovers, and they are allowed to meet only once a year on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month of the lunisolar calendar.
Hydrangea. For some reason I find this flower classic. The fact it changes colour depending on soil type. It has a stately appearance, and looks great either by itself or with many bunches.
In this case I think the bunch looks like a dogs head, but maybe I have an over active imagination
So much rain in one night... all flower heads were filled with water... for some it was too heavy to carry and so they bowed down to the ground. ;-(( The stronger ones like this one are still standing up! ;-))
My Hydrangea 'Preziosa' has already such rich autumn colours. I made this quick study this evening. Deep reds and toxic greens...
It's hard to believe they start out as creamy white flowers in June.

This particular Hydrangea thrives uncared for but supplied with it's own regular water by being directly under the rainfall discharge downpipe pipe.

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.

As hydrangea changes its color from blue to magenta it is called shichihenge(literally, seven-changes) in Japanese.
Also known as Hortensia. I love the varied blues of this cultivar.
Happy Bokeh Wednesday! Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.

Well, my wife's hydrangeas are blooming. She's really quite good at growing them. And I'm trying to get better at shooting them. ;-)
