Hydrangea are at their prime right now. It is the perfect time to use a single head to design an artistic display of this abundant flower. This kind of arrangement is very simple to accomplish. All it takes is a round bowl, water, leaves and flowers. This particular design has one hydrangea head, three hosta leaves, three daisy blooms and another lovely perennial that grows in our shade garden. I don't know its name but maybe you do?
Put about one inch of fresh water in the bowl, lay the larger leaves around the circumference of the bowl, and allow a window of space to see in. Next, lay the hydrangea in the center and place the remaining flowers around it. Make sure all the stems are in water. Add fresh water daily and you will have a week of enjoyment from these few flowers!

Beautiful! I love hydrangeas! I'm sorry I can't help you with the name of the shade garden blossom.
I love hydrangeas too BUT they always wilt and die in my garden. I was told to keep in the shade and I did...but they still dont love me :(
What a fun idea!
What a beautiful color of hydrangea. Mine are finished blooming, and I got lovely lavenders and blues. I know if I changed my soil pH I could get some pinks. Maybe next year?
This is sooo pretty, so elegant, Julene! I love the use of the bowl...almost like a mini terrarium! Thank you for the lovely words at my place... my shop may be closing but Pink Purl will still be in the blogisphere and more! :o) ((BIG HUGS))
