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.

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, (*_*)

Too busy yesterday to go and look for something to photograph beyond the back garden. Been painting our dining room and chauffeuring KP and friends from a Birthday Party.

My wife's hydrangeas are blooming. Need I say more? ;-)

I've got an absolute sea of these on my shrubs this year. And they're all big and fluffy.

Lime light hydrangea. The flowers open a soft green and then transition to white laced with pink.

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

The hydrangea bushes are blooming, and it's so interesting to watch them change through several colors.
