Over recent years the Hydrangea
plant went out of fashion but with many new varieties
available they are back and making a statement with their
beautiful shaped petals and stunning colours.
Hydrangea’s are very popular both as cut flowers and plants
for the garden because of their big and beautiful blooms, they
are also popular in bridal bouquets. The historical meaning of
hydrangea stems from the Greek word for water, hydro, the name
comes from the constant moisture required to keep the flowers
happy, healthy and blooming.
I’ve named
the image ‘Raindrops’ because of the torrential rain on the
day I took the photograph. I cut and brought the Hydrangea
flower inside and placed it in front of a large window. With
the parent plant outside I was able to use that as the
background and also capture the raindrops. I feel this
Hydrangea image fits perfectly with the description of what
Hydrangea’s require to survive, hydro and lots of it. |
