The beautiful hortensia faded out in Luxembourg that indicates that autumn is approaching soon. This photo is to remember it in its full glory.
Hortensia is also the name of a large diamond that was part of the French Crown Jewels. It weighs 21.25 carats and has a pale orange color. It was named after Hortense Mancini, a mistress of King Charles II of England.
The diamond was stolen in 1792 during the French Revolution and later recovered.
It is now displayed at the Louvre Museum in Paris.
