Bigleaf Hydrangea, French Hydrangea, Lacecap Hydrangea, Mophead Hydrangea, Penny Mac, Hortensia, • Manipuri: থামাপনসাপী লৈ Thamapansapi lei; Hydrangea macrophylla is a species of flowering plant in the family Hydrangeaceae, native to Japan. It is a deciduous shrub growing to 2 m (7 ft) tall by 2.5 m (8 ft) broad with large heads of pink or blue flowers in summer and autumn.[1] Common names include bigleaf hydrangea, French hydrangea, lacecap hydrangea, mophead hydrangea, penny mac and hortensia. It is widely cultivated in many parts of the world in many climates. It is not to be confused with H. aspera 'Macrophylla'. The term macrophylla means large- or long-leaved.[2] The opposite leaves can grow to 15 cm (6 in) in length. They are simple, membranous, orbicular to elliptic and acuminate. They are generally serrated. The inflorescence of Hydrangea macrophylla is a corymb, with all flowers placed in a plane or a hemisphere or even a whole sphere in cultivated forms. Two distinct types of flowers can be identified: central non-ornamental fertile flowers and peripheral ornamental flowers, usually described as "sterile". A study of several cultivars showed that all the flowers were fertile but the non-ornamental flowers were pentamers while the decorative flowers were tetramers. The four sepals of decorative flowers have colors ranging from pale pink to red fuchsia purple to blue. The non-decorative flowers have five small greenish sepals and five small petals. Flowering lasts from early summer to early winter. The fruit is a subglobose capsule. In climates where Hydrangea macrophylla flowers, place in a mixed shrub border or at the back of a flower bed. Its rich foliage and large size make it a wonderful background for white or light colored flowers, even tall growing perennials and annuals. In warm climates H. macrophylla is good for adding a splash of early summer color to shady areas and woodland gardens. Minimal pruning is recommended for most prolific flowering. Flowers are easily air dried and are long lasting. (from Wikipedia on 25.6.17)

image of a beautiful flower shot in the hills of Buxa Tiger Reserve, North Bengal. (8th June 2010) The plant was found at an altitude of about 1500 feet. Yes Hydrangea macrophylla Another picture for 250509ET 101 These look like Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla). It is an interesting plant in that it changes its color from pink to blue depending on the acidity of the soil. http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Hydrangea.html As the plant ages, the flowers may turn green. http://www.hydrangeashydrangeas.com/green.html I have hydrangeas growing in my terrace garden and experimented this year by putting rusty nails in the soil (had got this tip from some tea planters way back) to change its colour - it did - to a more violet hue from light pink. I took this picture during Bio Diversity Trail at Great Himalayan National Park base camp, on 10th May,2009. Kindly give ID . ... most probably this one looks to be Hydrangea macrophylla -- what I have at http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=Hydrangea+macrophylla&w=91314344%40N00&z=m ..., one of my flickr friend had provided me the ID, his comment: "Hydrangea macrophylla cultivar. This is one of the garden forms with all sterile flowers in the head, which do not occur in the wild." A plant with Umbel inflorescence seen in Manali. This plant is also observed as garden plant in many places including Pune. I think the colour of the flowers is brightest in higher altitudes like Ooty, Mahabaleshwar, Manali etc. The plant appears to be Mountain Hydrangea Family : Hydrangeaceae as per link http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Mountain%20Hydrangea.html Hydrangea macrophylla

I got a hydrangea plant growing in our balcony. It is a mature one, still it has not yet flowered. What could be reason? Is it due to hot climate in Mumbai? Yes ..., hot weather is the culprit. Try giving it shade and good water. in my garden, though it is seldom hot (above 35) I had to wait five years, until my plant started flowering. Perhaps along with shade and good water patience and good talking to the plant may bring good results. Yes, talking to the plant, in my experience, is really very helpful. My plant is showing buds now, will send Fotos when it starts flowering. Wish you good luck! Thanks ..., my plant is young. So I think I will have to wait for some more years. You are right, talking to plants, even I have noticed some changes when we talk to them. The link below is from a website dedicated to Hydrangeas , you can good lot of information regarding the propagation & maintainability of the plant in your garden. http://www.hydrangeashydrangeas.com/index.html
