Life cycle

Hydrangea flowers are produced from early spring to late autumn; they grow in flowerheads (corymbs or panicles) at the ends of the stems. In many species,the flowerheads contain two types of flowers, small fertile flowers in the middle of the flowerhead, and large, sterile bract-like flowers in a ring around the edge of each flowerhead. Other species have all the flowers fertile and of the same size.

Amusing WE to all!

Hello Kostas,
A mighty fine image of hydrangea or as my grandma would call it hortensia. There are appears to be a spotlight on the main bouquet, the red flower on the bg appears to be geraniums. A good composition with good colors and sharpness. Terry will be pleased. Regards...

Hi Kostas,
Nice shot of this Hydrangea, I've got these at my place, some shots in my gallery too. This one is a good colour, exposed nicely in the mid-day sun. The dark tones in the BG really make it stand out. Well captured.

TFS,
Scott.

Beautiful soft light. Nice flower photography.

hello Kostas,

for me? thank you so much.. i have one exactly the same colour outside my kitchen upstairs.. last year it was purple not sure why this year it grow pink.. ahyaiyai.. thank you for the nice word also you wrote but im not there yet.. few maybe quality but most still below par ^_^ i still have lots to learn.. eventhough some have big points i know its still not good..

i don't want to sound ungrateful but i have to tell you some part of the flowers are OE esp. the middle one.. im sure you know what i mean.. anyway its understandable you took this in the middle of hot day that's why the light was harsh.. play with the setting im sure you will one day get the right one..

have a wonderful weekend..

regards, terry
