Our Beautiful Hydrangea

[As for the colors, Carol says she put coffee grounds around the base of the hydrangea, quite a bit of it.]

"Hydrangea is a genus of 70-75 species of flowering plants native to southern and eastern Asia and the Americas.
By far the greatest species diversity is in eastern Asia, notably China, Japan, and Korea." - (from Wikipedia)

What do you feed that one? I understand nutrients determine the flower color.

Fabulous! Here, in Japan, they are everywhere! And the Portuguese exported it all over the World! In fact, the Islands of the Azores are just covered with them!http://www.pbase.com/jdrpc/image/140952678
