Stamped Hydrangea with Peeled Paint and Worn Lipstick distress ink. Distressed bg with Tea Dye and Walnut Stain distress ink. Stamped tag and distressed with the same except also added the birthday definition and the envelope pattern with Walnut Stain using this month's layering technique. The tag started out to be the main bg of the card, but then I made a boo boo and trimmed it to use what was left as a tag. Has this happened to you?
Hydrangea with common green shieldbug (5th instar nymph).
This is a stereogram, to be viewed in crossview technique.
Separate images have been taken subsequently (the bug cooperated very well!).
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.

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.

As you can know the hydrangea is one of my favorit flowers. Around our home we have them in pots and in the ground. From both you see some examples.
See the whole serie from today.
Have a very nice weekend.

Hydrangea macrophylla is a species of flowering plant in the family Hydrangeaceae, native to 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. 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
I just planted this hydrangea in a shady spot this afternoon. It will get some morning sun from the east tho'. The blooms are a different shape that the usual hydrangea as are the leaves.
This hydrangea shot is 100% inspired by some of the incredible hydrangea shots I've seen from Japan this spring/summer. A worthy attempt, I suppose, but I don't think I'll ever be able to capture the beauty of the hydrangea the way the Japanese can.
VanDusen Botanical Garden, Vancouver. July 2, 2007.
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.
In most species the flowers are white, but in some species (notably H. macrophylla), they are blue, red, pink, light purple, or dark purple.
In these species the colour is affected by the presence of aluminium ions which are available or tied up depending upon the soil’s pH content.
For H. macrophylla and H. serrata cultivars, the flower colour can be determined by the relative acidity of the soil: an acidic soil (pH below 7), will have available aluminium ions and typically produce flowers that are blue to purple, whereas an alkaline soil (pH above 7) will tie up aluminium ions and result in pink or red flowers.
I wish you all the very best and thank you for all your kind words, time, comments, likes and faves.
Very much appreciated. M, (*_*)
