Hydrangea

I finally got round to picking my hydrangeas before pruning them. I see next years buds already shooting. I was going for the chocolate brownness of one head but got side tracked on to the deep red and have gone for this one where I have caught the edges. They look so thick but in reality paper thin. Some indecision over whether the extra should be my main blip. I found the little thingy at the centre of one flower I was focusing on was actually split,
It has been sunny today, no frost or wind. It was a Research Room day for me so missed most of it.
Thankyou Jensphotos.
