[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Oakleaf hydrangea is a native plant for all seasons. Early spring brings the excitement of tender, lettuce-green emerging leaves. Then, in late spring, the flower clusters appear—large creamy pyramids that tend to put one in mind of giant soft-serve ice cream cones. Aging is a long and beautiful process for these flowers: As the months pass, they change from light pink to rose to a pleasing tan, and they remain on the plant well into winter. The leaves stick around a long time, too, turning rich wine colors and hanging on until late November or even early December. Come January, the sculptural branches and peach-colored exfoliating bark provide plenty of winter interest.

This grand plant is easy to grow. It’s disease and insect free, drought tolerant once established, and heavy blooming even in shade. Down here we force the plant to change colors by placing a rusty nail or adding iron to the soil. It will then turn a beautiful blue to lavender blue color.

Salut Fran
I think you have got the lighting spot on here. The colours are lovely and the composition with the flower coming towards you is lovely AND it is all in focus too. The whole thing is complimented well by the simple framing. Well done!
