Hydrangea (/haɪˈdreɪndʒ(i)ə/; common names hydrangea or hortensia) is a genus of 70-75 species of flowering plants native to southern and eastern Asia (China, Japan, Korea, the Himalayas, and Indonesia) and the Americas. By far the greatest species diversity is in eastern Asia, notably China, Japan, and Korea. Most are shrubs 1 to 3 meters tall, but some are small trees, and others lianas reaching up to 30 m (98 ft) by climbing up trees. They can be either deciduous or evergreen, though the widely cultivated temperate species are all deciduous.
Having been introduced to the Azores, H. macrophylla is now very common, particularly on Faial, which is known as the "blue island" due to the vast number of hydrangeas present on the island.
Species in the related genus Schizophragma, also in Hydrangeaceae, are also often known as hydrangeas. Schizophragma hydrangeoides and Hydrangea petiolaris are both commonly known as climbing hydrangeas.
There are two flower arrangements in hydrangeas. 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, fertile flowers surrounded by outer rings of showy, sterile flowers. The flowers of some rhododendrons can appear similar to those of some hydrangeas, but Rhododendron (including azalea) is in a different order.

I should have had a narrow aperture to take this so that the petals were in focus. However, I am posting it mainly for the colours.. the pink against the (not sure what to call it) ... em...brown/biscuit petals.
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!"
Thank you for your time and comments, greatly appreciated, M, (*_*)

The huge hydrangea blooms provide endless opportunity for macro photography. Each little scene seems to show off yet another character of the plant.

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.
