With my camera in hand I walked around our garden at home and took the opportunity to take some photos of the hydrangeas ... we have several different varieties and colours.
They are beautiful this year.
Curious about the name I did a little research.
The fruit that follows the hydrangea's showy blossoms is cup shaped and looks like little water pails.
The name "hydrangea" is derived from two Greek words.
Hydro - meaning water. Angeion - meaning vessel
It made me reminisce about our day spent Biarritz...
In the next few days before the blooms are past their best, I plan to cut some to dry and use for decoration in our home.
A good dose of hairspray and they will keep their colour and shape for many months.
