Every so often, we pen an ode to a flower that's in season and ripe for the picking (or more likely, buying) and filling your apartment with. If ever there was a bloom that perfectly captured the essence of summer, the hydrangea would be it. We love how Sydney is awash in pastels at this time of year - from the violet plumage of jacarandas to the sky blues, candy pinks, mauves, mints and even crimson colours of hydrangeas.
With their cloud-like form and sculptural stems, hydrangeas are beautiful grouped en masse or styled as single stems in bud vases. If you change the water, they really last weeks - it may be hard to believe, but we still have only ever-so-slightly faded blooms left from early January. Feast your eyes on the petal perfection below...
