I promised Lisa from A Day In The Life that I would post a White Hydrangea for Beckys A Life of a 40 Something Square in September flower challenge.
Sorry Becky, I have cheated a little as I haven’t posted one photo.
The White Hydrangea flower ball. A very early bloom from a young plant so it’s not as big as I hope the flowers will one day become.
Ever looked behind a Hydrangea? Almost reminds me of the Segrada Familia photos I posted a while ago.
The centers of the individual flower have a beauty all of their own.
Don’t blame you posting three . . what a wonderful set of photographs. Brilliant idea to get underneath to photograph, like the light in that one. Think though the final one is my favourite.

Lovely. I also like the third one the best, A flower within a flower! I wonder if your white hydrangea will deepen to pink as it ages as mine does.

Thank you I hope mine don’t change from white. I am sure it will depend on the soil and the pH as the pink and blue are.

No. The white ones don’t change like others do according to the soil type, but mine deepen towards the end of the season. They take on a pink tinge, then a deeper pink before turning reddish-brown, but new flowers are always white to start with. Thinking about it mine have pale pink centres where yours are blue, so maybe yours will go a bluer shade as they start to die.
