Description

Hydrangea flower not quite in full bloom. I like they way the tips of the flower were a purple lavender color.Hydrangea flowers are produced from early spring to late autumn; they grow in flowerheads (corymbs or panicles) at the ends of the stems.This shade-loving beauty offers huge bouquets of clustered flowers, in various arrangements from mophead to lacecap, from summer through fall. Varieties differ in size of plant and flower panicle, flower color, and blooming time.First discovered in Japan, the name hydrangea comes from the Greek �hydor,� meaning water, and �angos,� meaning jar or vessel. This roughly translates to �water barrel,� referring to the hydrangea�s need for plenty of water and its cup-shaped flower. With its wooden stems and lacy, star-shaped flowers packed closely together in a pompom, the hydrangea�s color ranges from white to blue to pink and purple, determined by the acidity level of the soil.
