This Pinky Winky Hydrangea reminds me
of a fluffy, two-scoop, vanilla-strawberry ice cream cone.
Insects swarm it with wild abandon,
burying their faces in the sweet tasting blooms.
Its fragrance, soft and spicy, is as delicate as its rose-tipped petals.
What a glorious way to move into Fall.
Rosemary!
ReplyDeleteOh!
A wonderful, delicate, beautiful hydrangea.
It looks like a dream...

It is the perfect mix of romantic colours :)
DeleteWhat a sweet hydrangea! I have three hydrangeas myself but none of them are hydrangea paniculata, your post made me think where I could manage to squeeze one in :-)
ReplyDeleteOh you must get one! They are so easy to grow and in my case, turn pink just as the weather starts to cool and everything else dies off.
DeleteUnusual tiny blossom of September!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!

Thanks Juliana, it blooms when everything else disappears!
DeleteYou read my mind:) I was thinking ice cream cone as well. Such light and airy flowers. You really know how to get those macros and flower petals to work for you:)
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing it's especially hot today? Okay, so what's your favourite flavour(s)? Yeah, flowers are easy because they stay nice and still for the camera :)
DeleteI love lilacs from my hometown. Here I'd have to say the Mexican Bird of Paradise OR Vinca flower. And today....it's raining all day long!!! So do not want to work:(
DeleteYou really should write a book:) You have such a wonderful way with words (& beautiful photos!!!)
ReplyDeleteAhhh, thanks Tammy, I love that we've all found a way to follow our passion. I feel the same way about your blog posts :)
DeleteRosemary,
ReplyDeleteYou do have a way with words and your shots are spectacular!
Very precise and I could almost smell its sweet fragrance.
You really have the eyes for it and beautiful imaginations:)
Thank you so much Ash, I'm just a flower nut at heart. They are so beautiful, they make my world a wonderful place.
DeleteGorgeous light and softness! I've not heard of these hydrangeas before. Seems the insects treat these as if they ARE ice cream.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, Rosemary! I love Hydrangea too, yours is perfect.
ReplyDeleteStupende fotografie, la natura ci regala sempre delle belle emozioni!!buona giornata e felice fine settimana...ciao
