Hydrangea serrata 'Hime gaku'
Arbusto giapponese alto circa un metro, con infiorescenze di dimensioni ridotte, ma dai colori molto accesi, che vanno dall’azzurro intenso al rosa deciso. Tre, più raramente quattro, è il numero dei sepali del singolo fiorellino sterile. Considerata la piccola dimensione dei fiori, è consigliata una esposizione protetta dal sole.
Hydrangeas are popular ornamental plants, grown for their large flower-heads, with Hydrangea macrophylla like this one here being by far the most widely grown with over 600 named cultivars, many selected to have only large sterile flowers in the flower-heads.
Hydrangea macrophylla, also known as Bigleaf Hydrangea, can be broken up into two main categories; Mophead Hydrangea & Lacecap Hydrangea, the latter here from my garden.
Some species only flower on 'old wood'. Thus new wood resulting from pruning will not produce flowers until the following season.
The pink hydrangea has risen in popularity all over the world, but especially in Asia.
Pink hydrangeas have many different meanings, but generally mean, "You are the beat of my heart," as described by the celebrated Asian florist Tan Jun Yong, where he was quoted saying, "The light delicate blush of the petals reminds me of a beating heart, while the size could only match the heart of the sender!"

Hydrangea macrophylla is a species of flowering plant in the family Hydrangeaceae, native to Japan. It is a deciduous shrub growing to 2 m (7 ft) tall by 2.5 m (8 ft) broad with large heads of pink or blue flowers in summer and autumn. Common names include bigleaf hydrangea, French hydrangea, lacecap hydrangea, mophead hydrangea, penny mac and hortensia. It is widely cultivated in many parts of the world in many climates
These hydrangeas start off with the palest shade of lavender, and as they age and dry up, they deepen to an intense purple. They have the most delicious powdery scent!

The hydrangea shrubs in my garden are getting ready to flower as Australia heads into yet another Summer. The accompanying image is from a past season and for this year I'm thinking that I'll attempt to change it's descendants colour to pink by feeding it with soil ph conditioner.

Hydrangeas are wonderful, hardy shrubs that would certainly have to be included on a list of the ten best flowering plants in the world.
Hydrangeas are amazingly versatile in that you can actually alter the flower colours to suit your needs. The flower colour in most forms relates to the acidity or alkalinity of the soil.
In acid soil (pH 5 or less) hydrangeas are usually always blue.
As the soil pH climbs towards the neutral and alkaline end of the scale (pH 7 or more) hydrangeas turn mauve, pink and red.

This Hydrangea bush is growing in my neighbour's garden and the flowers heads are much smaller than the blue Hydrangea that is growing in my garden, but I love the delicate colour of this bush.
My brother, who we recently visited for his birthday, has had a bad fall and broken his leg. He is disabled and has to walk with a frame, so I am not sure how he will recover from such an injury. It is so hard for us to get information at this stage as he lives so far away from us, but we are ringing and hopefully speaking to the doctor today. He has been having a lot of falls lately and hopefully they will be able to find out what is causing them.
