Hydrangea Progression

It's the first time in my life I've ever lived in a climate where hydrangeas grow so I watched their development with utter delight.  They're very much waned and ready to be cut back now but I thought it would be fun to share how the blossoms progressed from bud through peak.  I love that the particular variety and soil conditions here produced flowers that are my absolute favorite color!
