I love watching the colour progression of hydrangeas as they move through the summer.

The photos above and below are from mid-July when this large, gorgeous hydrangea shrub was in its creamy white stage.

Since this is a vanilla fraise (strawberry vanilla) hydrangea however, it has now begun its seasonal change to pink.

The photo above shows the gentle start of a blushy-pink tone but as time goes along, this colour strongly asserts itself.

I like this colour contrast between the blue sky and the rosy pink hydrangea.

It’s amazing how wonderfully these flowers last and change over a period of about two to three months.

These hydrangeas will eventually fade to brown but for now they look lovely in their cream and rose pink late summer dress.

Happy Friday.
