Our Hydrangea has just begun to flower again after being pruned quite severely recently. I do love the colour, but might has to find out what to put in the soil to turn the flowers pink for a change.
Blue hydrangeas take on a whole new palette as they begin to fade away for the cold seasons. It is easy to overlook them, but the keen observer is rewarded with a subtle beauty - less flamboyant than the summer blooms, but worthy in the end.
Summer is the season of hydrangea too. I visited this Japanese garden especially for its famous and beautiful hydrangea blossoms. It does fit the Japanese style architecture elegantly.
夏季也是我很喜愛的繡球花的季節，我特地找尋北海道，種植繡球花有名的花園。
小樽的「貴賓館」，是日本國家認定的文化資產(「国 登録有形文化財」)，園內種了500株的繡球花，搭配傳統建築，很是典雅！

I love hydrangea - so many gorgeous colours! They always start appearing in the conservatories near Easter, so it's an early glimpse of summer blooms ahead.
Hydrangeas seem to grow semi-naturally in Madeira. Not sure when the growing season is though - pretty unusual to see one in this state in February

Hydrangea , commonly named the hortensia, is a genus of more than 70 species of flowering plants native to Asia and the Americas. By far the greatest species diversity is in eastern Asia, notably China, Korea, and Japan. Most are shrubs 1–3 m (3 ft 3 in – 9 ft 10 in) tall, but some are small trees, and others lianas reaching up to 30 m (100 ft) by climbing up trees. They can be either deciduous or evergreen, though the widely cultivated temperate species are all deciduous.
Hydrangea flower colour 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 cannot be colour-manipulated by soil pH because they do not produce pigment for colour.
