Perhaps it's the grotty weather we had in June/July but our hedge of Hydrangea 'Ayesha' is magnificent this year! This is just part of it.
My first test of the Canon G1X's HDR 'filter' whereby the camera takes three images at varying brightness and processes them to produce one image with highlights and shadows well-balanced.

This is a new one for me this year... a Pelecinid Wasp (Pelecinus polyturator).
The female of this species of wasp will thrust its long curly tail into the ground, locating a June beetle larva. She lays an egg on it which, when it hatches, will burrow into the grub and eat it's way out for its initial nourishment. Mmmmm, just delightful, all the way around.

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.
