A Palette of Jewels

Here is the last Hydrangea of summer:

vibrant Lapis lazuli

It too will fade:

Pale Sapphire

Rose Quartz

Creamy Jade

Watered amethyst

Soft alluring colours for subdued autumnal light.

*****

I will be out and about for a few days:

things to do
places to go
people to see

Back soon.

Stunning photos. Went to a wedding recently and the floral arrangements on the tables were hydrangeas - they are so beautiful.

My mother's favourite flower. Mrs. Commentbox Senior says:

"You must have the right soil, the right aspect and lots of lovin'"

Thanks for the beauty.

Only you could describe hydrangeas in that fashion - you should visit Sark in August the colours of them there are positively stunning

It was a good year for hydrangeas. For the first time since we moved here, our hydrangeas had colour - lots and lots of different shades of pink, lilac and even blue. Too pleasing for words. Have fun being here, there and everywhere. C x

I love hydrangeas. My favorite are the pinky-creamy-gray ones. Well, that sounds awful -- but the rosy ones that are fading to cinnamon. Have fun out and about.
