Hydrangea (/ha?'dre?nd?i?/;common titles hydrangea or hortensia) is a genus of 70-75 types of flowering crops local to southern and eastern Asia (China, Japan, Korea, the Himalayas, and Indonesia) and the Americas. Probably the greatest types diversity is in eastern Asia, notably China, Japan, and Korea. The majority are shrubs 1 to 3 meters tall, but some are small trees and shrubs, and others lianas getting up to 30 m (98 foot) by climbing up trees and shrubs. They can be either deciduous or evergreen, though the cultivated temperate kinds are all deciduous greatly.Having been introduced to the Azores, H. macrophylla is now very common, particularly on Faial, which is known as the "blue island" due to the vast number of hydrangeas present on the island.Life cycleHydrangea bouquets are created from planting season to late fall; they grow in flowerheads (corymbs or panicles) most often at the ends of the stems.
Typically the flowerheads contain two types of blossoms: small non-showy bouquets in the guts or interior of the flowerhead, and large, showy blooms with large multi-colored sepals (tepals). These showy plants tend to be long in a band, or to the exterior of the tiny flowers. Vegetation in crazy populations have few to nothing of the showy flowers typically, while cultivated hydrangeas have been selected and bred to have significantly more of the bigger type blooms.There are two flower arrangements in hydrangeas with Corymb style inflorescens, which include the commonly grown "bigleaf hydrangea"--Hydrangea macrophylla. Mophead bouquets are large circular flowerheads resembling pom-poms or, as the name means, the brain of a mop. On the other hand, lacecap flowers bear round, flat flowerheads with a center core of subdued, small blooms surrounded by outer wedding rings of bigger blossoms having showy tepals or sepals.
The flowers of some viburnums and rhododendrons can seem, at first glance, a lot like those of some hydrangeas.Dirt and colors acidityIn most kinds the plants are white, but in some varieties (notably H. macrophylla), can be blue, red, pink, light purple, or dark purple. In these types the colour is afflicted by the existence of aluminium ions which are available or tangled up depending upon the ground pH. For H. macrophylla and H. serrata cultivars, the flower color can be dependant on the relative acidity of the soil: an acidic soil (pH below 7), will supply aluminum ions and typically produce flowers that are blue to purple, whereas an alkaline soil (pH above 7) will tie up aluminum ions and result in pink or red flowers.
This is caused by a color change of the blossom pigments in the occurrence of aluminium ions which may be taken up into hyperaccumulating plants.[6] Lowering the pH of potting soils or mixes usually does not change the rose color to blue, because these soils have no aluminum ions. The capability to blue or pink a hydrangea is also inspired by the cultivar. Some plants are selected for his or her ability to be blued, while others are bred and selected to be red, pink or white. The flower color of most other Hydrangea species is not damaged by aluminum and can't be changed or shifted. Hydrangeas likewise have a nickname called 'Change Rose'.
