I know, I know, I should be writing about something French today, but I just had to post these pictures! These are hydrangeas from my Mother's garden outside of Boston. While the white is not my first choice (I just love them in blue), I do think these are wonderful for the color variations: from pure white, to celery, to cream.
Did you know that 'hydrangea' in French is 'hortensia'? So, our woman's name, Hortense (yes, I know, it is old-fashioned and you don't hear it anymore) means this beautiful, versatile flower!
Oh my oh my! I love white flowers, all of them! these are simply gorgeous!!! How did you know the word Hortensia...im impressed! that's how we call them in Spanish too.
