I'd been worrying about my hydrangea until now - blooms are beginning to open, brightening my day. :)
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, (*_*)

I really like this stage when they are just beginning to change to their final colors.
This Myoho-ji Temple is famous as "the hydrangea temple" where there are a lot of hydrangeas in the precincts
I was impressed how well and tall the Hydrangea grow in the gardens around the Village of Volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii.Though not native to Hawai’i, these colorful plants with 8 inch wide "pom-pom" blooms have earned the Hawaiian name “pōpōhau", which means snowball. The Hydrangea on the Big Island are mostly of Hydrangea macrophylla. This very popular variety came to Hawai'i from China and can be a wide range of colors, This plant was growing in the yard of the house where we stayed,
Hydrangea macrophylla - hortênsia
Hydrangea macrophylla is a species of flowering plant in the family Hydrangeaceae, native to China and Japan. It is a deciduous shrub growing to 2 m (7 ft) tall by 2.5 m (8 ft) broad with large heads of pink or blue flowers in summer and autumn.[1] Common names include bigleaf hydrangea, french hydrangea, lacecap hydrangea, mophead hydrangea, penny mac and hortensia. It is widely cultivated in many parts of the world in many climates. It is not to be confused with H. aspera 'Macrophylla'.
This Hydrangea's blooms turn pink in alkaline soil and blue with acidic soil. Our soil leans on the acidic side as you can see.
