Hydrangea macrophylla is a species of flowering plant in the family Hydrangeaceae, native to Japan. It is a deciduous shrub growing to 2 m (7 ft) tall by 2.5 m (8 ft) broad with large heads of pink or blue flowers in summer and autumn. Common names include bigleaf hydrangea, French hydrangea, lacecap hydrangea, mophead hydrangea, penny mac and hortensia. It is widely cultivated in many parts of the world in many climates
Hydrangea looks lovely even off-season. Although it lacks the crayon-colors, it maintains its shape and develops a translucency that fits well into the autumn landscape.
A Hydrangea growing in my parents garden after a shower of rain. It was a birthday present for my father who loves the garden even if he can't tella dandelion from a daffodil ! Textures from Elements and courtesy of Ghostbones www.flickr.com/photos/ghostbones/2419152148/in/set-721576... Pollution
I left my potted hydrangea out, in the backyard, last year. I thought for sure that it being out all winter long, unattended that it had died. Last month I noted that it was coming back to life. I was so happy about that.
The hydrangea is one of my favorite flowers along with lilacs.
