Autumn Hydrangea

Japan is in the middle of rainy season right now and filled with blossoming hydrangeas.
I like hydrangea of this season, but especially, I love autumn hydrangea.

It fits antiques very well and I have enjoyed it as both fresh and dried flower.

Autumn hydrangea has less water than summer hydrangea and it is easier to dry it.

Sometimes I arrange fresh hydrangea and other flowers like this.
I often choose smoky colored flowers to arrange.
