Hydrangea, commonly named hortensia, is a genus of more than 70 species of flowering plants native to Asia and the Americas. The flowers of many hydrangea act as natural pH indicators. Hydrangea flower color can change based on the pH in soil. Soil with a pH of 5.5 or lower will produce blue flowers, a pH of 6.5 or higher will produce pink hydrangeas, and soil in between 5.5 and 6.5 will have purple hydrangeas. White hydrangeas, however, cannot be color-manipulated by soil pH because they do not produce pigment for color.

In the fall Hydrangeas take on a burnished autumnal glow - the last hurrah of the garden year before the frost of winter.

... these newly-planted ones play their part in this lakeshore planting, Montalto Estate, Co. Down. Hard to imagine that this estate was the site of the Battle of Ballynahinch during the 1798 Rebellion.
I walked underneath this yesterday. It really wasn't as tall as it looks.
I was on a much lower level than the garden it was in.
Much to my surprise after Macro Mondays poisonous theme, I discovered that Hydrangeas are in fact poisonous, although I think you'd need to consume a fair amount before serious symptoms appeared.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)

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.
HYDRANGEA - Thank You for Understanding.
Have a wonderful day and thank you for your comments with all my heart, M, (*_*)

I cut this off a hydrangea bush that was growing in the garden last summer and quite liked the blue of the seed pods and the flowers still on the branch. The flowers were pure white.
