Nov 13, 2019 - Hydrangea Still in Bloom !

            Our town has a pretty mild micro-climate anyway, but this is ridiculous. I shot this photo on November 13, 2019. This hydrangea plant seems to reside in a nano-climate* of its own. We had already had some nights with temperatures below freezing, according to the local weather report. 

As shown at the bottom of the photo, this plant is unprotected and right next to the asphalt sidewalk. It is on the shady side of an ordinary street; actually in the higher-elevation (more windy) part of town.  I wish I had shot its lone bloom ca. 5 days earlier because it was even pinker then. 

* Or maybe there is no nano-climate. Perhaps this is just some kind of accidentally hardy, mutated hydrangea. 

NB - Shot with my ancient iPhone 4S, then cropped and edited on my computer.
