“Where flowers bloom so does hope.”
– Lady Bird Johnson –

Today’s flower is a Hydrangea. I took this at the walking park in Lenoir, NC about three weeks ago.

    Hydrangea are such stunning flowers. I like the way bits of light are hitting the blue to create subtle variations of value.

    Love the flower shot and the saying :)

  10. I wish I could grow this kind of hydrangea in my gardens! I love them. They turn blue if the soil is acidic and pink if its alkaline. I think that’s amazing!

    Beautiful blue Hydrangea and words of wisdom.

    Hydrangeas spiral me back to the late 50s when my Grandmother moved to a terrace over-looking Bondi Beach and stretching the full length of her side walkway were alternating pink and blue Hydrangeas. They are in full bloom in December in Sydney and one spray is sufficient to fill a vase.

    Very pretty! These always remind of of my baby-sitter’s yard when I was a kid. She had huge bushes that lined the front of her house.
