Macro Flowers, September 9, 2011

I captured these hydrangeas a few months ago. I was intrigued by the colour because they seemed to be light green and turning blue.  I know little about flowers so perhaps blue hydrangeas start out green.



There seems to be an over abundance of wasps in the area this year. I'm not sure why.  They even came into a restaurant when a friend treated me to dinner last week.  The owner had to scurry around trying to kill them and shoo some out the door.

Please join in the Weekend Flowers and Macro Flowers memes for some true beauty.

  2. My hydrangeas go through all sorts of shades. They start out almost white then go blue and some a bit pink but then they all end up a dark mauve as they start drying out. Lovely photos. Diane

  4. @ Moni, thank you so much for your wonderful comment!

    @ Diane, that's great to know! I don't have any hydrangeas myself so I can't watch the progression of growth and colour.

    @ Yisselle, thank you for your visit and your follow. I'm going to check out your blog too! Always great to have a new follower.

  5. Hi Penny, such beautiful flowers! I planted a border of them before and still have them here and there. Amaing because the slugs are such a pain! We've been getting wasps as well though that looks like a fruit fly? I'm on my mobile and can't jump back to the page right now. Wishing you a peaceful weekend-

  6. Hi Regina, I'm glad you like the flowers. I really don't like slugs but I imagine they must be good for something. Just not sure what, lol. That is actually a wasp, not a fruit fly on the leaf above. Perhaps you can't see if since it will only be a small speck on your mobile ;-) Thanks for your visit. I wish you a wonderful weekend too!

  11. I like hydrangeas. Mother in law had a most beautiful one that stood seven feet tall and filled out ever year with beautiful flowers. You captured the pictures very nicely - of the wasp and the flower. Its strange how they seem to be so extra abundant some years. I have no idea why.

  12. I love blue hydrangeas and these are gorgeous. Ours are all pink.

    If you have so many wasps, let me remind you that the best treatment for wasp sting is mud. Just put some mud on it and pain goes away instantly. In a few minutes you will not even see the sting mark. I've learned this cure from my grandmother and tried it out many times.

  14. All of my hydrangeas start out white and become tinged with the main color. I have one plant that I'm never quite sure what color will finally be there when it's in full bloom! Nice captures.
