What is the Heart?
A flower opening... -Rumi
Hydrangea clusters are both stunning and long lasting flowers. They also can hold their own as a floral centerpiece.
I spotted this delicate, dreamy beauty in the florist department at my local grocery store and took a couple photos with my android. I remember I trick my father used to do - he would bury rusty nails to the ground where the hydrangeas grew in our backyard to change the colors of the flowers.
First discovered in Japan, the name hydrangea comes from the Greek "hydor," meaning water, and "angos," meaning jar or vessel. This roughly translates to "water barrel," referring to the hydrangea's need for plenty of water and its cup-shaped flower. With its wooden stems and lacy, star-shaped flowers packed closely together in a pompom, the hydrangea's color ranges from white to blue to pink and purple, determined by the acidity level of the soil.

Splendid image Nina. And such a lovely magical moment, to see your beautiful hydrangeas via Melinda.
As a child, we had masses of hydrangeas in our garden and they were thought of as being very 'ordinary' ~ It was only as I started looking at the smaller groupings of them that I saw their extraordinary beauty. Love them as they dry out too and the transition of their colouring from bright blues and pinks to muted mauves. 🦋
Beautiful hydrangea flower!
Beautifully captured. Th reminds me of this quote I love and have in my email signature.
"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."~ Anaïs Nin
