Hydrangeas are popular garden shrubs with delicate heads of flowers in shades of pink, white or blue and pretty autumn colour and leaf shape. The mophead and lace-cap hydrangeas are most well-known for their ability to change colour in different soils.

- I got this mini Hydrangea plant for free in severe dried-out condition from a local florist. After 4 years in my garden it is is still only 20 cm high, but flowering it does very well.
- Deze mini Hydrangea plant kreeg ik gratis van een lokale bloemist omdat hij geheel verdroogd was. Na 4 jaar in mijn tuin is hij nog nauwelijks 20 cm hoog, maar bloeien doet hij prima.
I saw this kind of hydrangea at my contact's photostream and found it very pretty. I wanted to see them by myself. I found it the other day at very close neighboor's yard.
The flower color changes from white to red in a short period.
This is called Kurenai which is a name of one kind of red colors.
There are many hydrangeas blooming here . I realized I have less oportunities to take photos since it is in rainy season now. So I try to go out when it is not raining.

January 7, 2016: Due to the warm weather as of late, I've got a few dying hydrangeas that still have some color in them. I took a photos, but it wasn't up to snuff, so I placed it into PhotoScape until I got a look I liked.
I'm just going to have fun this Project 365 366.

Hydrangea is a genus of 70–75 species of flowering plants native to southern and eastern Asia and the Americas. By far the greatest species diversity is in eastern Asia, notably China, Japan, and Korea.
With immense flower heads, hydrangeas flaunt an old-fashioned charm that is hard to resist. Colors also beguile with clear blues, vibrant pinks, frosty whites, lavender, and rose—sometimes all blooming on the same plant!
The colors of some hydrangeas—especially mophead and lacecap—can change color based on the soil pH, which affects relative availability of aluminum ions. Acidic soils with a pH of less than 5.5 produce blue flowers; soils with a pH greater than 5.5 product pink flowers. White flowers are not affected by pH.
Unrivaled in the shrub world, these elegant ladies are easy to cultivate, tolerate almost any soil, and produce flowers in mid-summer through fall (when little else may be in bloom). Hydrangeas are excellent for a range of garden sites from group plantings to shrub borders to containers.
There are two flower arrangements in hydrangeas with Corymb style inflorescens, which includes the commonly grown Bigleaf hydrangea - Hydrangea macrophylla. Mophead flowers are large round flowerheads resembling pom-poms or, as the name implies, the head of a mop. In contrast, lacecap flowers bear round, flat flowerheads with a center core of subdued, small flowers surrounded by outer rings of larger flowers having showy sepals or tepals. The flowers of some rhododendrons and viburnums can appear, at first glance, similar to those of some hydrangeas.

"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.
