Stormy skies and moody blue hydrangeas
Came rain or shine, trusty Lamma island always delivers quaint photo opportunities. Back on terra firma, I simply have to walk past Flannel Flowers and delight in the daily display. Hydrangeas were on the menu on Sunday, as well as the most magnificent maroon peonies. I have never seen this colour before and was sooooooooooo tempted to buy just one stem. But at $150 HK each I had to resign myself to photographing them. I did, however make my first ever purchase at Flannel Flowers: 2 baby Maidenhair ferns. They are infamously temperamental and dislike being disturbed. So I have to select their spot carefully. The hydrangeas were spectacular.
