Source: Dave's Garden. com, "Late summer is usually a tired time in the garden. Everything seems to be getting ready for a long winter's sleep and there isn't much blooming to keep things interesting. But if you have a few Hydrangea paniculata, your late summer garden goes from ho-hum to spectacular."
Well said, Dave. This is a pretty corner of the Agricultural Building on the Iowa State Fairgrounds. It's been two weeks since the fair, and this bush is really beautiful!

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.
The flowers of many hydrangea act as natural pH indicators, sporting blue flowers when the soil is acidic and pink ones when the soil is alkaline.
