In different types of soil hydrangea petals differ in colour, giving rise to the nickname 'shichihenge' (七変化 '7 transformations').
Throughout history the warrior class shunned the flowers, considering hydrangea to symbolise fickleness and a change of heart or loyalties.

Looking forward to this year’s profusion of flowers. The cooler than normal temperatures in May have slightly delayed our blooms.

The 3 #rosemary plants that I propagated from free cuttings last year are doing very well.

#Hydrangeas that were left after flowering. A delicate beauty. #flowers #petals #brown
Lo mejor del día de hoy, mis dos horas de jardinería. Hacía un frío del carajo y he terminado sin sentir ni manos ni pies, pero he dejado mi jardincito frontal podadito, que ya les tocaba a las hortensias, y con un montón de bulbos de narciso plantados esperando a la primavera. 🤍💛
