Hydrangea és un gènere de plantes amb flor de la família Hydrangeaceae. Les espècies d'aquest gènere es coneixen amb el nom comú d'hortènsia. Moltes espècies s'utilitzen com a plantes ornamentals.El gènere Hydrangea inclou plantes ornamentals, comunament conegudes com a hortènsies, natives del sud i l'est d'Àsia (concretament de la Xina, Corea, l'Himàlaia, Indonèsia i el Japó) i d'Amèrica. La diversitat més gran d'espècies d'aquest gènere es troba a les zones de la Xina, Corea i el Japó.
La majoria són arbustos dentre un a tres metres d'alçada, algunes són arbres petits i altres són lianes que poden aconseguir els trenta metres grimpant pels arbres. Poden ser de fulla caduca o de fulla perenne, no obstant les més àmpliament cultivades, que són espècies de climes temperats, són de fulla caduca. Comprèn dues-centes espècies descrites i d'aquestes només quaranta-tres acceptades.
Algunes espècies del gènere Schizophragma també es coneixen amb el nom comú d'hortènsies com és el cas de Schizophragma hydrangeoides'.
Les hortènsies neixen des del començament de la primavera fins a finals de la tardor; aquestes es troben agrupades en rams a l'extrem de les tiges. Cada flor individual d'hortènsia és relativament petita; no obstant això, el desplegament de color està augmentat per un cercle de bràctees modificades al voltant de cada flor.
Les seves flors poden ser roses, blanques, o blaves, depenent en part del pH del sòl.2 En sòls relativament àcids, amb pH entre 4,5 i 5, les flors es fan blaves; en terres més alcalins, amb pH entre 6 i 6,5, les flors adquireixen un color rosa; i en sòls alcalins amb pH al voltant de 8, les flors creixen blanques.

The Hydrangeas did very well this year, although in general the heads are smaller probably due to the hot summer.
Now some have been dried and form a lovely dash of colour in the room.
Hydrangea, the name, comes from the Greek words "hydro" or water, and "angeion," or vase = water vase, they prefer a lot of water.
A very ancient plant, found in fossils going back thousands of years.
Flower lovers will know that there is a flower language.
Every sentiment is expressed in one form or another by delicate blooms.
Of course, even the experts disagree on the "true meaning" of many flowers and most have different meanings to different people.
So, while all flowers convey thoughtfulness and love, a gift of flowers for a special someone will always create its own personal meaning, too.

Landon Pigg - Can't Let Go
The hydrangea in my garden appear to be doing quite well this year. This particular one has produced an ‘ice-cream cone’ shaped bloom that was over 30cm long! That’s one foot long of beautiful, mellow creamy-white little flowerlet’s! I have another one that is quite similar in appearance but some of its little flowers have a pinky-red edge to them.
I love hydrangea!
I sometimes wonder if Hydrangeas ever stop flowering in Brittany; however I do know they do, but here is one beginning to bloom.
Better viewed large.
Thank you for your favourites. :O)
Hydrangeas gone to seed, Georgeson Botanical Gardens, Fairbanks, Alaska. (Probably hydrangea paniculata.)
Hydrangea macrophylla 'Blaumeise' is a stunning lacecap hydrangea known for its vibrant blue flowers and adaptability to various garden settings.
This variety features large, flat flower heads that can reach up to 9 inches (22 cm) across, with cobalt blue florets surrounding a central cluster of tiny fertile flowers. In alkaline soils, the flowers may turn a soft pink colour. The plant has coarsely toothed, glossy dark green leaves that frame the flowers.
'Blaumeise' thrives in partial shade but can tolerate full sun if the soil remains moist. It is best suited for rich, medium moisture, well-drained soils. The plant prefers acidic to neutral soil for optimal blue coloration. To maintain the blue hue, gardeners can add aluminum sulfate to the soil. Conversely, adding lime will shift the colour towards pink.
Ensure the soil is kept evenly moist, as this hydrangea is not drought-tolerant. Mulching around the base can help retain soil moisture and protect the roots.
Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth for the next season. Avoid heavy pruning in late autumn to protect the buds from frost damage.
Light painted still life. Bristol Blue Glass has been made in our city since the 18th century. Cobalt Oxide is added to the glass to give it this deep blue colour. Local legend is that it was developed as a way of hiding the precise amount of taxable liquid in large glass containers from customs and excise officers.
