▶ "Hydrangea quercifolia — commonly known as oakleaf hydrangea or oak-leaved hydrangea— is a deciduous shrub with white showy flower heads, in the family Hydrangeaceae, native to the southeastern United States, often in woodland habitats.
Hydrangea quercifolia grows to 3–12 feet tall (0.91–3.66 m). The leaves are yellowish green to dark green on top and silvery-white underneath, turning rich shades of red, bronze, and purple in autumn.
Hydrangea quercifolia flowers are borne in erect panicles [cone-shaped flower clusters] 6–12 inches tall (15.2–30.5 cm) and 3–5 inches wide (7.6–12.7 cm). Flowers age in color from creamy white to pink; by autumn and winter, they are a dry, papery rusty brown. Hydrangea quercifolia and Hydrangea paniculata are the only hydrangeas with panicles; all the others have their flowers in umbels [flat-topped clusters].
Its specific epithet combines the Latin words quercus ('oak') and folium ('leaf'). Although the plant's leaves vaguely resemble larger versions of oak tree leaves, it is not closely related to oak species."

They look like individual hydrangea flowers, but their size is too large and there
are dark red clusters of berries or seeds nearby.

The Orange Oakleaf or Dead Leaf (Kallima inachus) is a nymphalid butterfly found in tropical Asia from India to Japan. With wings closed, it closely resembles a dry leaf with dark veins and is a spectacular example of camouflage.
