I guess we can say that summer is now well underway…the Hydrangea season is with us again. The National Collection at Darley Abbey has just opened for the season…. many of the bushes have yet to reach full blossom, but for starters these are rather fine.
More to come in a week or so.

Our hydrangea – we only have one 😦 – is starting to bloom now too. They are just so lovely.

I have always enjoy Hydrangea. And you captured quite a collection of them in this photos with a lovely variety of colours. Simply beautiful.

The variety of colour is great but matched by the equally wide range of shapes…. I will be posting more images as the season progresses 😊🌞
