Hydrangea (/haɪˈdreɪndʒiə/;[1] common names hydrangea or hortensia) is a genus of 70–75 species of flowering plants native to Asia and the Americas. By far the greatest species diversity is in eastern Asia, notably Korea, China, and Japan. 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.[2]
The hydrangeas growing wild through my shelter-belt hedge, proved too irresistible to passing bumblebees. A buff-tailed bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) is photographed here.
Hydrangeas are popular garden shrubs with delicate heads of flowers in shades of pink, white or blue and pretty autumn colour and leaf shape. The mophead and lace-cap hydrangeas are most well-known for their ability to change colour in different soils.
Hydrangea paniculata 'Sundae fraise' in the foreground, a new introduction by the breeder of 'Vanille Fraise'. Hopefully, the new cultivar, which is expected to stay more compact, has stronger stems and denser foliage than his "cousin". The pink Hydrangea macrophylla has been growing here for at least two decades. Its name is unknown to us. A Nandina domestica on the right, self-sown Astrantias along the path on the right. From our garden.
Some of the branches I trimmed off the Tree Hydrangea had beautiful flowers. Here's a closeup of one. It smells very sweet!
I'm enjoying documenting the stages this tree goes through during the summer season. I've always wanted to do it, but never got around to it... until Flickr. :-)
I'll have to copy everything I wrote into my "My Plants" book. I keep a binder with details of all of my plants. Layouts too! Just the gardens. Not the pots. LOL.
Oh yea, in this pic, the flower is sitting on my pink kneeling pad. It's become my go-to photo prop. :-)
The overwhelming autumnal beauty of our Hydrangea, originally with white infloscenses in early summer, lasts well even indoors.
La strepitosa bellezza autunnale della nostra ortensia, originalmente ad infiorescenze bianche, dura a lungo anche in vaso all'interno dell'abitazione.
