The Hydrangeas Keep on Giving

It seems that for the past six months or so,
everywhere I turn,
stunning hydrangeas have been on view!
Above, in England ~ below, in my own backyard:
Hydrangeas

Dragoons, I tell you the white hydrangeas
turn rust and go soon.
Already mid September a line of brown runs
over them.
One sunset after another tracks the faces, the
petals.
Waiting, they look over the fence for what
way they go.
