Hydrangea Macrophylla
Hydrangea macrophylla, also commonly known as big-leaf hydrangea, is said to be the most widely grown Hydrangea species worldwide. Apparently there are over 600 named cultivars.
They are one of the most popular ornamental plants because of their large, colourful flower-heads. The flowers are its most striking feature, appearing in large rounded or flattened clusters.
Hydrangeas have delicate flower heads with a mix of large, showy and small flowers. The large, showy flower heads come in a variety of colours, including pink, blue, and purple. Intriguingly, some varieties change colour based on soil pH: acidic soils produce blue flowers, while alkaline soils yield pink ones. This unique characteristic adds an element of surprise and interest.
The flowers of Hydrangea are carried in clusters, with each tiny, individual hydrangea flower being enhanced by the display of colour from a ring of modified sepals surrounding it. - Wikipedia
Las hortensias que nos has mostrado son muy hermosas. Te felicito por acercarnos a estos restos regalos de la naturaleza. Un abrazo.
Thank you for taking time to stop by and for your comment. I appreciate that. Have a great week ahead.
Igual para ti.
Hortensias or all the other bushes with flowers always die at my place. 😞
I wonder why. 🤔
I am not sure. It happens with the fruit trees as well. I think there is something in the soil. I dug out a lot of trash, two trucks! At that time there were also barrels with chemicals laying around. About ten years has passed. Everything died.
Only a rose, the irissen bloom this year (about 14-15 years later) and weeds grow rapidly.
No grapes, no blackberries, no different roses, no fruit trees except for two mulberries and one sour cherry tree but also they look like dying any minute.
It sounds like the reason your plants are not doing well has something to do with the soil. Can the soil remain toxic for so long? It probably could. You will have to plant your plants in pots. See if that makes a difference. If it does, then the soil must still be toxic. The soil is too toxic for the plants but not for the weeds. It is strange indeed!
I assume weeds grow everywhere. I also see it on the fields of the farmers. Everywhere weeds but the grain and sunflowers look terrible and are remain short. Grain at times only 10-30 centimetres.
I will see if I plant in pots again. I only did with some strawberry plants. They grow but if ten strawberries it is a lot.
Weeds shouldn't be growing if the ground is toxic. But maybe I am wrong.
Good luck with your plants.
