Hydrangea arborescens

I think this shrub is a bit confused, coz it shouldn't flowering in the middle of November!

I appreciate that in my neighborhood many of the homes show gardens in what Americans call "the front yard", rather than having all the horticulture being in the private space behind the house. Most of these are very small (this being a city, albeit a fairly green one [lots of purposely planted trees]) but they provide interest and beauty for the walker and passerby.

Accidental shots worked out just fine for me.

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.

Hydrangea serrata 'Kurenai'

Shuzo Fujimoto’s Hydrangea can be used as a modular unit. The method was first published by Meenakshi Mukerji and then reinvented independently by myself. I plan to publish a tutorial on this subject soon.

 

The different colors of the different levels of the hydrangeas are a result of using Harmony paper with a radial gradient pattern.

 

You can compare this model to my older fold and to the Hydrangea Icosahedron which is made in the same way but uses 30 rather than just 6 units.

This doesn't always seem to happen but on some of the Hydrangea flowers the little four lobed button in the center of the bloom opens to form a delicate tiny flower. As you can see this is a large magnification, the small inner flower is about 8mm across.
