Description
A study of dormant Smooth Hydrangeas (Hydrangea arborescens) captured during the quiet winter months. Once vibrant and white, the flower heads have transitioned into delicate, paper-like structures in shades of gold and amber. The low sunlight highlights the intricate, skeletal remains of the petals against the dark, dormant stems of the garden. This display is not just for visual interest; leaving these spent blooms through the winter provides essential protection for the new buds against frost.
