Dying....... by shepherdmanswife

Dying.......

Our Hydrangea from pink to brown to lacey, then gone until next year. I find it fascinating that it is going through all stages at the same time. Usually, a flower head will just die at the same time as the other flowers on its head, but not the Hydrangea.
It reminds me of the stages we women go through with our hair, from coloured to salt and pepper to grey to white then it falls out! Shame ours doesn't regrow the following year isn't it!
Beautiful capture!
