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.

I've never heard of the word Bokeh until I joined Flickr.

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.

Hortensia (Hydrangea) is een geslacht bloeiende planten uit de hortensiafamilie (Hydrangeaceae). Er zijn ongeveer 100 soorten verspreid over de hele wereld, waarvan sommige in het wild voorkomen. Vooral in China en Japan komen hortensia's veel voor.

De bloemen zijn roze, paars, wit of blauw afhankelijk van het pH (zuurgraad) van de bodem: In zure gronden worden de bloemen blauw, in basische gronden roze en in pH-neutrale bodems paars. uit: nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hortensia
