These are the dried flowers of a climbing variety of Hydrangea ( I think).
I was walking through our local Botanic Gardens last week looking for things to photograph when I spied these growing over a wall and couldn't resist a them as were so pretty and delicate. I'm glad the gardeners hadn't cut them back -I must remember to go back and see them in flower.
The photo has been enhanced with a subtle texture layer.
