End of Summer HydrangeaI do love hydrangeas; when they first begin to open in late spring and are "unripe;" when they're fully mature in midsummer, and now, when they begin to dry on the bush. Each stage of their lives has its own beauty.

ReplyDeleteI love Hydrangeas and I'm always curious if the colors they turn out with a change in PH levels of their soil :)
ReplyDeleteYou are lucky to have any flowers..We've had too many overnight frosty temps...

Do you hang the flowers upside down to dry then spray paint them with silver or gold? I've seen them done that way...I love the hydrangea!
ReplyDeleteSandi
this reminds me of my mom's garden: she has a bunch of hydrangea bushes
ReplyDeleteYes, hydrangeas are beautiful at almost any stage.
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful in all their stages...I don't have any of my own but my mom had them and I bought them for my daughter.
ReplyDeleteAwwww, they're dying and still you're right they do still have a certain beauty.
ReplyDeleteHydrangeas are always a pleasure.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flower. I hate to see Fall coming to and end, it is so cold here today, the wind just goes through you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by and wishing me a Happy Birthday.
"Louis" had to come back and take another look at your fading hydrangeas. Hydrangeas are, to "Louis's" mind, one of the most beautiful of all flowers.
