Hydrangeas, oh my!

We took a drive out on the weekend to Kaisei which is about an hour from where I live. They were holding a hydrangea festival. I love the rainy season here for this very reason! Also, I think the beauty of the rice fields against the hydrangeas is quite striking!

From another part of the park, irises, hydrangeas and sunflowers! If you look closely by the mountains, you can see a hazy Mount Fuji at the top there with some snow still left on it!

Those are so beautiful! I remember being in my grandmother's garden and her having those around. I was fascinated, and I just wanted to check on them everyday. They looked exactly like that and they were beautiful. I guess that's how my passion for gardening started.

I love them too. I hate the rainy season, as often it's kind of gloomy (today has been raining non stop!) but one thing I thoroughly enjoy are the hydrangeas that bloom at this time of the year.

Gorgeous pictures you took! I love both photos.

They hydrangeas are indeed beautiful against the rice field and the city behind it, and I love the look of those passing people with their umbrellas. Fantastic capture!

very nice, thanks for sharing. Another nice place for hydrangeas, besides my gardens , is Martha's vineyard, I think its the fog in the morning that helps them.

They're gorgeous! Ever since I remember, I've always loved hydrangeas. They look like little clouds in pastel colors

So beautiful! I love hydrangeas. Their pastel color makes them one of my favorite flowers ever. I just moved to a new house, so I'm hoping I'll be able to have some in my garden!

I especially like the pastel blue of the last photograph.
