- I got this plant for free in severe dried-out condition from a local florist. After 3 years in my garden it is is still only 20 cm high, but flowering it does very well.
And of course there exists a 'HansHoltiana' variety now too.
- Deze plant kreeg ik gratis van een lokale bloemist omdat geheel verdroogd was. Na 3 jaar in mijn tuin is hij nog nauwelijks 20 cm hoog, maar bloeien doet hij prima.
En natuurlijk bestaat er nu ook een 'HansHoltiana' variëteit.

This afternoon I made 2 paper buntings from the pages of an old music sheet book... I'll hang them on the walls of our charity sale room... I'm one of the cashiers the day of the sale...

The rest of the flowers on this bush are wine-coloured but this little group stayed this colour. and the flowers are really tiny.
I been for the many years the happy owner of this awesome flowering plant, the only thing is that I have to wait here in PA to the middle of summer to enjoy this very fragrant flower. It attracts butterflies, but also many kinds of bees and insects, and for the birds a place to find refuge while eating their seeds, or sometimes simply to come and be hand feed.
What it is amazing to me is the amount of flowers that a bouquet can produce, but also inside the same bunch, there is a much more smaller flower that adds a special touch to the flowerhead.
Did you know that there are about seventy five species of hydrangeas and that they native of southern and eastern Asia? Here is a link with very interesting facts:

Photography is my passion, and nature photography is my favorite.
I have been in Explore for more that a hundred times, and it is an awesome experience to have your photos showcased in such a special way.
I'm in many groups, and I only add my photos to them if they are not private.
I thank your for coming today, for leaving a comment, and make a favorite of yours this photo, (if that is the case) thanks again!
The best part of this forum is the contacts and friends that I have made over the years, that have the same passion for this art that is called photography!

Hydrangea is a genus of 70–75 species of flowering plants native to southern and eastern Asia (China, Japan, Korea, the Himalayas, and Indonesia) and the Americas. By far the greatest species diversity is in eastern Asia, notably China, Japan, and Korea.
In most species the flowers are white, but in some species (notably H. macrophylla), can be blue, red, pink, light purple, or dark purple. This colour change is due to the soil pH which affects aluminium availability. Those with blue or pink flowers tend to be blue in acid soil conditions (high available aluminium levels), mauve in acid to neutral soil conditions, and pink in alkaline conditions. To get the best flower colour, choose cultivars that give the best colours for the pH in question.
