What plant is this?

Heat wave #2 for this year

Here's what we have to look forward to, weatherwise, stating tomorrow. This is a 10 day forecast that I grabbed off the Accuweather web site. I modified the settings so that the text would display in English and the temperatures in Fahrenheit. Rignt now I'm airing out the house and letting cool morning air in before it gets hot outwide (high today 88ºF). We'll close the windows and shutters later this morning to keep the sun and heat out. We'll be spending a lot of time indoors over the week to come.

Hydrangea

The hydrangeas in our yard are really nice this year.They survived the May canicule and are in full flower right now.

Neighborhood prunes

If nobody else picks them, I will. Just a few.
However, they don't usually ripen until September.
Maybe this year's May heat wave will advance that date.
