Hydrangea, dinner blossoms
In our Northwest Hills neighborhood, a hydrangea bush about six feet tall stands beside a nearby house, robustly growing in a narrow dirt-filled garden space between the sidewalk and the house. When I walked by one morning, taking a different route to the bus for variety's sake, I stopped to take a few photos of the lovely blossoms.
Hey, who took a bite out of that flower?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. When ever I see a hydrangea I think of my grandmother. She had several huge bushes of them in her front yard.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous blossoms. I often take photos of other people's flowers or gardens as I'm passing by. I hope they don't think I'm some kind of nut case! lol
ReplyDeleteLovely shades of blue in the delicate flowers. I have had no success EVER with hydrangeas.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had any luck with hydrangeas either. I think its too hot in the summer for them. Beautiful delicate color and blossoms.
ReplyDeleteHow thoughtful of you to present us with such a lovely bouquet!
ReplyDeleteI love your hydrangea photos. I'm hoping mine will do better this year.
ReplyDeleteOh... so hydrangea is the name of the flower. Here, we call it Milflores. That's a lovely flower, and great shot you made!
ReplyDeleteI also joined ABC Wednesday! HERE is where you can see my "D" photo. Please drop by if you have some time. Thanks!
:o) Beautful D post
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful, delicate blossoms! Huge hydrangeas are quite a joy to see in gardens!
ReplyDeleteThe nice thing about these pictures is that they show somebody like the petals too. I noticed some bites out of them.
ReplyDeleteThe color stands out as unusual. You always see reds and yellows and whites all over the internet, but the lavendar because it is unsual, jumps out at you.
ReplyDeleteLove the color of the hydrangea. Someone had a very good dinner judging from those blossoms :0)
ReplyDeleteThe blossoms of the hydrangea are very delicate looking.
ReplyDeleteDelightful photos.
Bear((( )))
God rest their souls, but these are shots that my parents would have really liked... We had a few hydrangeas growing in our yard when I was a kid -- they were just as beautiful as your shots...
ReplyDeleteNot only the flowers were delicate - so where the photos!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comment :-) !
One of my favourite flowers, especially the blue variety!
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots.
I love hydrangea, they are so beautiful and delicate like you said. Mine also have some nibbles from the naughty bunnies.
ReplyDeletegreat photo for ABC Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors. Very nice
ReplyDeleteDo you know, I hadn't even noticed the double D posts! DOH!! Well done you!
ReplyDeleteI love Hydranga's and want to plant some around my gazebo....but my husband assures me that is not that correct spot for them! The young man in front of the dinosaur is my 25y/o son, btw! This is a great picture.
ReplyDeletelove the colors in this... and LOL - it does look like someone took a bite out of it, not you I hope!
ReplyDeleteThey look like they are glowing.
ReplyDeleteLove the hydrangeas, great colors. Love you photos of Portland.
ReplyDeleteHydrangeas are such showy flowers and yet delicate at the same time. You captured this beautifully!
