DSC00151RS'G.jpg "Yama Hydrangea", which grows near the water bus stop in the Hamarikyu Onshi Garden, is at its best.

Yama Hydrangea, along with "bigleaf hydrangea" (so-called "hydrangea"), "Western Hydrangea" (Hidlandsia), and "Foreign Hydrangea" (I hear that more classifiers are classified as Hydrangea).

The standard varieties are also called "Kogaku" because they are smaller than bigleaf hydrangea, and "Sawa Hydrangea" because they tend to grow along moist forests and swamps.

In addition to gaku blooming, there is also Temari blooming, and the small elliptical leaves are thin, glossy, thin branches, and delicate.

As a whole, the impression is full of wildness, and the flower color and flower shape are said to have many variations depending on the region.

In cobalt blue, pale blue and pure white, you can enjoy a variety of "ornamental flower" flower colors for each plant.
