Die Hortensien (Hydrangea) sind eine Pflanzengattung in der Familie der Hortensiengewächse (Hydrangeaceae). Sorten einiger ihrer Arten sind beliebte Ziersträucher. Die in Mitteleuropa bekannteste darunter ist die Gartenhortensie.

Das Auffällige in ihren Blütenständen sind weniger kleine fruchtbare Blüten als vielmehr unfruchtbare Schaublüten mit großen, farbigen oder weißen Kelchblättern, die am Rand des Blütenstandes stehen; bei den Zuchtformen der Gartenhortensie haben alle Blüten vergrößerte Kelchblätter und sind unfruchtbar.

"Blue Hydrangea Bloom" by Patti Deters. A large blue hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla) blossom glows in afternoon light. The large mophead flower is made up of many small individual flowers and petals. The petals showcase shades of blue and purple, enhancing the flower's intricate beauty. These perennial shrubs are showstoppers and amazing to see during peak bloom season. Thank you for viewing this picture.

In most species of Hydrangea the flowers are white, but in some species, can be blue, red, pink, or purple. In Hydrangea species the exact color often depends upon the acidity or alkalinity of the soil. Acidic soils produce blue flowers, neutral soils produce pale cream petals, and alkaline soils result in pink or purple. www.theflowerexpert.com

Our Hydrangeas are all budding now. Beautiful flowers very soon!

. . . Like everyone else, I am posting a hydrangea picture from the yard, only I decided to make mine into a giant sequoia!

A casual closeup / macro to my pink hydrangeas which are in full bloom (late July), so long may they last.

I love this stage when it starts turning from white to this subtle dusty rose color.

I discovered this oak leaf hydrangea nearby, I googled it but am confused by its variegated leaf colour. This is supposed to occur in the Autumn months, not in the Spring, but could not find a cultivar which matched this happening earlier in the summer.
