Hydrangea, Turned
I promise I’m going to post a card later tonight. But, dang, isn’t this pretty? I just had to share it with you. I was trimming the spent blooms from my hydrangeas today but this particular hydrangea aged so beautifully. How can I call this a spent bloom? It’s exquisite! This is why it takes me so long to get anything done in the garden. I get lost in things like this. There’s a Georgia O’Keefe quote I have in a stamp: “When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it is your world for a moment.” She is so right. Back to my other world now…sigh…
That is sooooo beautiful! Love those gorgeous colors!!! tfs
Oh my gosh, that is a stunning photo, and aren’t you lucky to have held it in your hand for that moment! Thanks for sharing; I think I feel a color combo coming on!
I absolutely love your garden. Have I told you about Karla’s virtual party or have I just thought about telling you? LOL! She wants people to link their favorite place in their house to her blog on September 25th. I definitely think the garden would count and, of course, you have to do everything I do!

WOW — this is unreal — so gorgeous - how can you even bear to come in — even to stamp — LOL!!!
I don’t care that this isn’t a card…I love your photos of your flowers! Thanks so much for posting them for those of us with brown thumbs.
Wow, these are really amazing…so beautiful! I must say, you have quite the green thumb
Thanks for letting me get lost in your garden with you.
Absolutely stunning. This is better than a card, thanks for sharing.
So gorgeous - this hydrangea and also the post below. I still long to see your garden in person, it must be breathtaking. And how neat that you have a Georgia O’Keefe quote in a stamp - she’s one of my favorites.
What beautiful colors! Such inspiration!
Wow! Gorgeous. You really ought to make a card with this photo. I love hydrangeas. I like to dry them - they make beautiful bouquets, dried.
My…look and those colors. Gorgeous!!
Truly exquisite and magical. Linda
you should print it out on card stock and then make your card for the day!!!! this picture is so pretty it will make a creat card!
Oh my goodness, I wish I had that in my yard! It is truly one of God’s masterpieces!!!
WOW!!! So beautiful!!!! Those colors are unreal!!!
I agree, of course, with all the others - that this is so gorgeous. I enjoy this eye candy so much -such treats indeed! I love the quote by GO and also love the one that’s currently in the HL1 Sidekick Sayings as applicable to you. TFS! Beautiful, beautiful.
I had to look again after I read your post.
At first glance, they looked like a handful of Primas
Exquisite!!!
Wow, this is beautiful! It must just be so good for the soul to spend time in your garden!
This is my absolute favorite flower. I really wish mine would bloom. I just don’t think it’s their year.
I have hydrangeas in my yard too and absolutely love their beautiful blooms. (I also have 2 hydrangea stamps! LOL)
Drooling *on the floor* gorgeous!

I so wish I could have Hydrangeas in my garden. I’ll just have to live vicariously through beautiful pictures like this!
