Hydrangea macrophylla

Hydrangea macrophylla (Hydrangea macrophylla (Hortensia))

I love hydrangeas and this one is one of the loveliest I've seen. The starry cap of dainty, almost forget-me-not flowers are edged by these heavy white lacy flowers.

Yes and only one of the flowers, they're really heavy, but amazing! The centre of the white flower is the tiny blue one!

Your Hydrangea is really expecially beautiful. I love them all, but have no place for it.

That's a shame Elke, it was so heavily laden with flowers when I bought it last year. I'm wondering if it will still be blue this year as our soil is more alkaline than acid, it will be interesting to see.....:o)
