Warsaw, August 2023
I love flowers. April and May are my favorite months precisely because of the multitude of blooming trees and shrubs.
Due to my health condition, I was unable to take full advantage of this year’s spring and take pictures in magnolias and rhododendrons. Fortunately, in August you can still find some beautiful flowering plants, and hydrangeas are my favorites. Properly cared for, they can produce large inflorescences in the shape of huge, colorful balls. Interestingly, hydrangeas react to a change in the soil pH, which is manifested by various colors of flowers, depending on whether the soil is acidic, neutral or alkaline. Real magic!
Recently, I came across impressive hydrangeas in shades of pink and beige. I immediately thought that it was the perfect backdrop for romantic portraits. For a better effect, I provided the model with a large bouquet, which slightly enlivened the whole stylization. The openwork shawl is one of the most beautiful things I have in my wardrobe and it was handmade by Mrs. Urszula. I dream of being able to knit such works of art someday.
