Hydrangea (/ha?'dre?nd?i?/;common names hydrangea or hortensia) is a genus of 70-75 kinds of flowering crops local to southern and eastern Asia (China, Japan, Korea, the Himalayas, and Indonesia) and the Americas. Certainly the greatest species diversity is at eastern Asia, china notably, Japan, and Korea. Most are shrubs 1 to 3 meters large, however, many are small trees, among others lianas getting up to 30 m (98 feet) by climbing up trees and shrubs. They can be either evergreen or deciduous, although cultivated temperate kinds are deciduous greatly.Having been introduced to the Azores, H. macrophylla is very common now, on Faial particularly, which is recognized as the "blue island" because of the vast number of hydrangeas present on the island.Life cycleHydrangea bouquets are created from planting season to late autumn; they expand in flowerheads (corymbs or panicles) frequently at the ends of the stems.
Usually the flowerheads contain two types of blossoms: small non-showy plants in the guts or interior of the flowerhead, and large, showy bouquets with large colorful sepals (tepals). These showy bouquets are prolonged in a wedding ring often, or to the surface of the tiny flowers. Plants in crazy populations have few to nothing of the showy plants typically, while cultivated hydrangeas have been picked and bred to have more of the larger type flowers.There are two flower arrangements in hydrangeas with Corymb style inflorescens, which includes the commonly grown "bigleaf hydrangea"--Hydrangea macrophylla. Mophead plants are large circular flowerheads resembling pom-poms or, as the name signifies, the head of any mop. On the other hand, lacecap flowers bear round, flat flowerheads with a center core of subdued, small bouquets surrounded by outer jewelry of greater plants having showy tepals or sepals.
The bouquets of some viburnums and rhododendrons can appear, at first glance, similar to those of some hydrangeas.Ground and colors acidityIn most varieties the flowers are white, but in some species (notably H. macrophylla), can be blue, red, green, light purple, or dark purple. In these kinds the color is influenced by the occurrence of aluminum ions which can be found or tied up depending upon the garden soil pH. For H. h and macrophylla. serrata cultivars, the flower color can be determined by the relative acidity of the soil: an acidic soil (pH below 7), will have available aluminum ions and typically produce flowers that are blue to purple, whereas an alkaline soil (pH above 7) will tie up aluminum ions and bring about pink or red flowers.
This is the effect of a color change of the blossom pigments in the presence of aluminium ions which can be adopted into hyperaccumulating vegetation.[6] Minimizing the pH of potting soils or mixes usually does not change the rose color to blue, because these soils have no aluminum ions. The ability to blue or green a hydrangea is affected by the cultivar also. Some plants are selected for their ability to be blued, while some are bred and selected to be red, white or pink. The flower color of most other Hydrangea species is not affected by aluminum and can't be changed or shifted. Hydrangeas likewise have a nickname called 'Change Rose'.
