Hello Steemians!
This week's installment of Flower to the People features blue Hydrangea!
Hydrangea! One of my all-time favorite flowers! I rarely buy them because they are expensive and can wilt pretty quickly! However, since it's my 26th wedding anniversary on Monday, I thought to treat my husband and myself to a lovely bouquet of the flowers we had at our wedding. Well, at one of our weddings as we married in NYC and again in Tehran and then yet again in the North of Iran in a town called Gonbad, where my husband's parents are from originally. That's a total of three wedding folks! It was fun but dizzying! In any case, I placed them at the window as they seamed happiest there! And I thought they looked grand in a blue jug. What do you think?
You work wonders with your smartphone. Beautiful. Best wishes for your anniversary!

@ilanaakoundi,
Can you please teach me how to take that kind of photography? I am crazy with this photography of yours. I don't know how to make such light effects! This is amazing!
Cheers~

Smiles, my dear friend! You are very kind! I studied Fine Arts in school, which I think helps a lot with composition and light but I also think a determined person such as yourself will create the art you like to see. I always appreciate you sweet comments. Thanks for stopping by!
Cheers! :D

Smiles! Yes! I actually had three weddings! Crazy, eh? I laugh when I think of it now...
Thank you my dear! The days here in NYC are gray and overcast so I didn't have as much light as I would have liked, but flowers are always inspiring!
Big hug back! xo

My mother is the same! She has so many flowers in the house however she tends to get the already potted ones as she gets upset about fresh ones withering too fast. However they give such a nice smell in the room <3 Thank you for the upvotes as well <3 <3 <3 hope you have a good day!
