Whilst I've been away in Scotland, the hydrangea have been excelling themselves in my garden in Paris. The blooms are massive and so healthy looking - so much better than the peonies this year, which were small and quite insignificant. I liked this in black and white as it brings out the detail of the individual petals within the bloom.
This is gorgeous, even in B&W! I wish my hydrangea looked this impressive. I planted one for the sake of 365 pictures, so it's not that old of a bush, but unfortunately the spot I picked now has more shade than the flowering plant would like. I may have to move it again, which will likely make it unhappy for a few more years...
