This flower head on our hydrangea tree is one of several that have remained throughout the winter. Despite it's fragile appearance, it has dried and faded to this sepia color, hanging on through wind and snow.
Soon new flower heads will appear, forcing the old ones to fall off. Until then, I enjoy seeing their faded beauty.

It's actually very beautiful, isn't it. It looks like a vintage photo! Are your hy's blue, pink, green, white?
beautiful in its fragility ...
Isn't it wonderful that such a beautiful and delicate flower can survive a brutal winter and still look so beautiful.

So hard to imagine that these seemingly fragile petals can hold on for so long. Wonderful photo.
Photos like this emphasize the beauty of aging. Too many folks see it as a bad process. I think here is innate beauty in the lines and spots and translucence of the elderly and the wisdom in their eyes, just at there is beauty in this stubborn flower.
Wonderful shot and post.
I love this post. You've captured beauty in what was, and what will be. Such a pretty picture of a favorite flower.
How very lovely!
great photos
Thanks for your nice comments - working through Lent towards Easter - thanks again.
A beautiful picture of resilience!
Unbelievable!
Only creator God could keep the lovely in a fading flower bloom. Thank you for this gorgeous photo, Mari.
It´s really beautiful, i love it
I, too, love that this fragile bloom withstands the winter.
anyway really beautiful.
Seems that it´s still "winter" where you live.
It's gorgeous! Too bad you can't preserve it.
It's still beautiful!
