Today's Flowers # 65

My friend Luiz from Brazil does the Today's Flowers Meme, check it out. Come and join with your flower photos. Sunday at 2 GMT is the post time.

This is a Hydrangea from my neighbors garden. It does put out multiple blooms and comes in different colors. Thanks for the help on the name.
There was a little ant on the flower so I had to get a close-up of it.
While I was there I thought on photo of the single flower would be nice.
Visit above to see a lot of great flowers.

    Yes, it is a Hydrangea, Tom. Looks like others have told you. It is a beauty--and so BIG. You captured it well.

    We planted those this year and enjoyed them. If you ever get out West, we have to go fishing together.

    Lovely. I saw a plant at the garden centre recently with a large bloom. It was so beautiful that I was really tempted to buy it.

    a lovely old fashioned flower that has become popular again. I remember them as a child at the beach on the Eastern shore of Maryland. I now have 3 in my garden.

    How beatiful Tom. In December, our hydrangeas are at their best so we also call them "Christmas flowers".

    Very nice...I like how the ph of the soil changes the colors of the hydrangea from pinks to blues..

    "But the flower leaned aside
    And thought of naught to say,
    And morning found the breeze
    A hundred miles away."

    So says Robert Frost
    Have a great day
