All gorgeous plants what is the green plant in the last photo it's lovely .

It´s Hydrangea Anabelle, Kidsgran. This is fantastic large bush, one of the largest Hydrangeas I know. I will bring a photo of the whole plant soon. Its flowers have beautiful change of colour during a time. At the beginning they are green, as you can see here, then they turn into very light and finally are white. After that they turn to slightly pinkish-green. You can save these flowers indoors as decoration, they look fantastic for several months. You just have to dry them at the end of the season, not in early summer, I do not know why.

Do I recognize the fourth ones from the bottom as allium

Do you find that Annabel's flowers are too heavy for the stems? Maybe it stops collapsing as the bush matures. I was really fooled by that last picture - thought it was a shrub, not a single flower head!
Hydrangeas round here are very late this year and only just beginning to flower. Yours are really lovely.

They are so pretty, Katarina! I too thought that photo was a whole shrub until I looked more closely - such a lovely green. I love the colours in the second photo.

Thank you very much to all. Steragram and Melchisedec@Hydrangea arborescens Anabelle is amusing large shrub, with bowing branches, but it is nothing catastrophic as it is dense, so it looks it has flowers from the bottom to the top. Its flowers change their colour during the summer. First they are pale green, then turn into green like you see on the photo, then turn more and more white, like a snow ball and finally this snowball turns again into pink-light green colours, very nice one. If you pick and dry them at the end of the season, you can enjoy their beauty indoors for the whole winter.

I have one of these (hence the question about collapsing stems!) but hadn't thought of drying the flowers - must give it a go.
