Hydrangea Flowers
Hydrangea flowers are great cut flowers.
"Water Vessel"...
About the picture: The flower is from my garden, but read the story to really appreciate the flower.
Background
The picture was taken in a home studio. The background is a sheet of craft foam. I chose this background purely for the color.
The Story behind the Picture
A while back... I was not happy with the number of Hydrangea pictures in my collection. I needed more and better pictures of Hydrangea flowers.
Lighting Problem
I tried taking pictures in the garden. But, the results were not good enough. The lighting was a problem.
Take the Flower to the Light
So, I had to cut a flower for the sake of taking a picture or two. I took a few photographs. The pictures were good. But, I was not quite happy with them. Then I forgot about the poor flower... She was in a vase and she was hidden behind a table.
Flowers Need Water!
A day or two later I discovered that poor Miss Hydrangea had no water... she ran dry and she was hanging like wet laundry. I added water to the vase. And, I cut the stem a bit shorter. After a while, I couldn't believe my eyes! She was back to being her old self. She really looked like she was fresh from the mother plant that morning!
My Favorite Wallpaper
I really like the picture I took that same day. It is one of my favorite wallpapers! And, I'd like to share it with you!

One More Thing
I have to add one more piece to the story. Miss Hydrangea went on to look pretty for another week... unbelievable.
Hydrangeas are resilient
So, now I know that Hydrangea flowers are resilient. That makes them extremely good cut flowers, even if you do accidentally forget to top the water up.
