“It took me time to understand my water lilies. I had planted them for the pleasure of it; I grew them without ever thinking of painting them.”
Claud Monet (14 November 1840 – 5 December 1926)

Hydrangeas
are popular garden shrubs with delicate heads of flowers in shades of pink, white or blue and pretty autumn colour and leaf shape. The mophead and lace-cap hydrangeas are most well-known for their ability to change colour in different soils.

THE MEANING & SYMBOLISM OF
First discovered in Japan, the name hydrangea comes from the Greek “hydor,” meaning water, and “angos,” meaning jar or vessel. This roughly translates to “water barrel,” referring to the hydrangea’s need for plenty of water and its cup-shaped flower. With its wooden stems and lacy, star-shaped flowers packed closely together in a pompom, the hydrangea’s color ranges from white to blue to pink and purple, determined by the acidity level of the soil.

There remains some debate over the hydrangea’s symbolism – with some connecting it to vanity and boastfulness (perhaps reflecting its abundance of petals and lavish, rounded shape) and others suggesting that a bouquet of hydrangea expresses the giver’s gratefulness for the recipient’s understanding. Still others suggest it represents anything that’s sincerely heartfelt. Despite this variation in flower meaning, there appears to be an overwhelming consensus that this 4th wedding anniversary flower possesses enduring grace and beauty.

... one day a Dear Friend of mine asked me "a rose a day"...
...and this is a promise...


... WHAT MAKES AN ACTION, A THING, A SPECIAL ONE, IS LOVE, CREATIVITY, FEELINGS, SENSATIONS, IMAGINATION...
THIS IS MY WORLD....
SO A ROSE IS NOT A ROSE, IT IS WHAT WE WISH TO SEE INSIDE IT...
THIS IS THE REAL DREAM....
A DREAM WHERE EVERYTHING IS MAGIC AND PEFECT....
