Hydrangea

Hydrangea or Hortensia 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. Most are shrubs 1 to 3 meters tall, but some are small trees.

Hydrangea flowers are produced from early spring to late autumn; they grow in flowerheads (corymbs or panicles) most often at the ends of the stems.

In most species the flowers are white, but in some species (notably H. macrophylla), can be blue, red, pink, light purple, or dark purple.

And this particular Hydrangea stands proud in our garden with beautiful sunset colours in the background.

Hydrangeas are popular shrubs with colorful flowers that bloom through summer and into fall. They usually bloom in shades of blue, purple, ..

The teacup is new to my wee collection. Had to use it! Hydrangea from the garden. It is so warm here some of our spring flowers are trying to bloom!

Hydrangea involucrata “Yokudanka”

Hydrangea in full bloom with deep blue central flowers surrounded by blue-purplish ornamental flowers. It retains something of Hydrangea macrophylla f. normalis (‘Gaku-ajisai’ in Japanese), the original species of various hydrangea cultivars.

Hydrangeas are what I consider to be good value plants , as once established they will flower prolifically for months . This one is just in its second year, in my garden , but doing well.
