Hydrangea

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.

Have a nice weekend!:-)

This Hydrangea is in a flower pot and survives under the barbecue during the winter,

Purple hydrangeas, halfway between pink and blue shades, generally symbolize a desire to understand someone on a deeper level. The color purple is also representative of wealth and abundance,

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.

Endless Summer Hydrangea

Again, from my son's garden

When we planted this hydrangea two years ago, its flowers were a beautiful blue color. When it flowered last year, the flowers were bright pink. Regular treatments with coffee grounds turned it purple, but it came out pink again this spring. More coffee grounds have resulted in this lovely melange of purple tones. And the plant will receive regular servings of coffee grounds all year to encourage more blue tones.

Happy Sunday. Take care, stay safe, and remain optimistic. Thanks for stopping by and for all of your support -- I deeply appreciate it.

Wishing everyone a happy weekend. Thank you for your visits, dear friends:-)

I will be away next week, going whale and bear watching on the west coast of Vancouver Island.

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.

I think the weather has had something to do with the smaller blooms on our Hydrangea bush.

Growing in my garden. I think the wee spots on the petals are because of the unusually dry conditions recently.

First flower head on one of last years cuttings.

Yhanks for your visit and comments I appreciate that very much
