Some combination of rain and temperature has made 2011 the Year of
the Hydrangea. Not just the ones in front of our house but
throughout town seemed to have more flowers and the flower heads were
bigger and an even richer blue than normal. Some of these early
clusters in this work are still green, just starting to shade over to their
production blue, but I was inspired by the juxtaposition of colors,
especially with some other colors tossed in to spice things up.
