I arranged 5 hydrangea, my favorite.
To follow the rules, I chose Annabel hydrangea, a small kind. The total of the five was 7 cm.

A “Smooth hydrangea” Hydrangea arborescens is named for its large, smooth leaves. and sometimes called snowball hydrangea. This is 'Annabelle', the best-known cultivar. Its huge flowers start out white, then turn green in late summer.

My husband and I saw a few of these bushes on our walk in a wooded area in a canyon by our house. We have walked the trails there for several years and never noticed them. They are growing wild by a creek and the best I can tell is that they are Hydrangea arborescens, commonly called Wild hydrangea, Smooth hydrangea, Sevenbark or Tree hydrangea. I'm a little hesitant about pronouncing what we saw as Wild Hydrangea because these bushes were in excess of 10 feet tall, the blooms were from 2.5 to 4.5 inches wide and growing here in the Pacific Northwest. Hydrangea arborescens grow on the East side of the country. If anyone has more expertise, I'd love to be corrected! This is one of the smaller blooms submitted for Macro Mondays Group Theme: Into the Woods.
I planted 24. 16 successfully rooted. The more successful plants are the cuttings that had all leaves removed. As you can see in photo, only 3 "cut" leaves succeeded. The rest were stem only cuttings and have lovely new leaf life and roots.
Hydrangea arborescens 'Annabelle' WW34 Smooth D1- (McDaniels, Univ of Illinois, 1910) Smooth Hydrangea or wild hydrangea, Mature plant size: 4x4ft., Tiny white fertile flowers corymbs 2-6in. across, USDA Hardiness Zone 3-9, Michigan Bloom Week ISO WW24, In Garden Bed D1 for 4.0 YEARS (Lowes). Planted in 2018.
'Annabelle' is a nature cultivar that was discovered ~1910 in the wild near Anna, (Southern) Illinois. Plantsman J.C.McDaniels from the University of Illinois named it and promoted it for its extremely large flowers (corymbs) which are considerably larger than the species. It is probably the most grown cultivar of smooth hydrangea. It blooms on new wood, so it is quite hardy. It can be cut to the ground in late winter to promote plant vigor.
National Gardenig Association, member luis_pr: These grew like weeds in my old Atlanta, Georgia stomping grounds. I would add to the description: can wilt a lot when hot so keep it well mulched. And add some wire around it to help support the heavy stems when the blooms get wet. I had to put mine in a full but very bright shady spot so they get limited watering from rains. Will propagate via suckers too so plantings tend to get "wider" as the years pass.

Hydrangea arborescens 'Abetwo' was developed (pp20571, 2009) by Timothy D. Wood from Spring Meadow Nursery of Grand Haven, Michigan. ‘Abetwo’ originated from an open pollination of ‘Annabelle’ (parent) and an unknown H. arborescens in 2002. Compared to Hydrangea ‘Annabelle’, it is taller, has larger flower heads, and thicker stems that do not splay when wet. The flowers start out lime green and mature to pure white. Blooms in early June for ~ two months.
