Petals

Day 28 of HeartFreeks Photo Challenge for July.

No this is not a flower arrangement. It is a close up of the head of a lacecap hydrangea. Normally you only really see the larger petals and miss all the excitement happening in the middle.
I don't normally like the lacecaps, preferring the blousey, in your face mopheads. They take me back to childhood holidays spent in Devon and Cornwall where they seemed to grow in every garden and out of every crevice in the rocks.
