The boss asked me if I noticed the hydrangea as we walked beside the river....Huh? So maybe my image of one will help me on future hikes. Beautiful tiny flowers on the Hydrangea Arborescens.

Small, mound-shaped, densely multi-stemmed shrub, 3-6 ft. tall, wild hydragea is often broader than high at maturity. The flat-topped clusters of delicate, greenish-white flowers are the deciduous shrub’s main landscape feature. Some flowers are so heavy as to weigh the stem to the ground. Fall foliage is insignificant.

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.
