Blue Hydrangea

BLUE HYDRANGEA, BIG ISLAND, HAWAII, FEBRUARY 21, 2013

Pentax K-01
Pentax 35mm f2.4
1/500 sec. f8
ISO 800

Deborah Abbott captured this gorgeous bloom during a visit to the Big Island on a rainy day. At first I thought it was Plumbago auriculata, or Cape Leadwort, but the saw-toothed edges of the leaves say it's the Blue Hydrangea we're all familiar with.
