Hydrangeas are very popular shrubs because of the large inflorescences that begin to bloom in early June and bloom until late fall. The genus Hydrangea comprises about 70 species of mostly deciduous shrubs and fungi. They originate in Japan, China, the Himalayas, Korea and Indonesia, and one species comes from America. Hydrangeas were brought to Europe from Japan in 1799, first to the Portuguese Azores. Most species were brought to Faial Island, which was given the name Blue Island due to the flowering hydrangeas growing in nature. From here, hydrangeas have spread throughout Europe in hundreds of years. Hydrangeas thrive best in a partially shady position. They will blossom poorly in the deep shade, and in the scorching sun, in the hot heat, they can wilt during the day. Shrubs need fertile and moist but well drained soil. When planting, add compost but well stocked manure.

Thank you for your visit and nice comment, my friend…i painted it in my neighbor’s garden
that is so cool! Sounds like you neighborhood is colorful!
All the neighbors have a lot of flowers … I have a few more … the surroundings are really very colorful
a couple of my neighbors have flowers, but for the most part we are a deck neighborhood (as in sit out on your back deck!)
Everything around here is full of flowers … I prefer a garden for vegetables … I also have some small flowers
I used to have those flowers in the garden sometimes
Thanks for viewing and a friendly comment, dear Vidocka…and why don’t you have them now?
I have a small garden. These flowers need a lot of space
Yes they are really big bushes and take up a lot of space, dear Vida
I prefer vegetables in the garden
I, too, dear Vidocka … have more benefits

Thanks for watching and kind comment, my friend
I love hydrangeas. They are amazing when on the plant and when dried for dry flower arrangements. We have only pale pinks and pale blues here. No matter what I add to the soil the color doesn’t seem to change.
Thank you for your visit and nice comment, dear Dawn…i think its best when it’s fresh … i don’t remember seeing them in dry arrangements
These Hudrangea flowers look lovely Lado.
Thanks for viewing and kind comment, dear Mohan…I’m glad you liked them
Oops. Just realized that Hydrangea became Hudrangea in my comment. 🙁
It really doesn’t matter what her name is … it’s important that we know what flower it is
Yes, Hydrangeas grow in New Zealand too, they are beautiful.
Thanks for watching and kind comment, dear Pamela…I’m glad you liked them

Thank you for your visit and nice comment, dear Grace…it really is an interesting and beautiful shrub
