As I have explored flowers through my photography I have learned there are many different varieties of Hydrangea.

I became so enamored with the Hydrangea flowers that I wanted to have one I could see and photograph regularly.

I ordered a Hydrangea bush from the Arbor Day Foundation.

Then I planted that small sapling bush along the side of my house.

The tiny Hydrangea plant has grown rapidly. It is now one of the larger plants I have grown at our home.

When the flowers on this plant bloom they are a silky white. Beautiful and bright.

The flowers really brighten up the outside of our home.

The flowers on the Hydrangea last a long time after they bloom. Hydrangea flowers themselves actually never fall from the bush.

On this bush the Hydrangea flowers need to be pruned before spring growth renews.

But between the initial blooming and the pruning a magical transition occurs.

The bright white Hydrangea flowers evolve into these beautiful yet subtle pink hues.

A white flower bush transforms into a pink flower bush.
