Wild hydrangea flowering

[Sam] May 15, 2018 14:00

DSC06358ELS'.jpgDSC06351RS'G.jpg "Yama hydrangea", which grows near the water bus stop in the Hamarikyu Onshi Garden, has begun to bloom as soon as possible.

"Yama Hydrangea" is one of the hydrangeas of native Japanese species.

The standard variety is also called "Sawa Hydrangea" because it tends to grow in moist forests and along swamps, based on the impression that bigleaf hydrangea, the mother species of hydrangea, is smaller.

Small, elliptical leaves are thin, lackluster, thin branches, and have the taste of mountain grass.

Flower color and flower shape are said to have many variations depending on the region, and are a popular flower tree.

You can enjoy cobalt blue, pale blue and pure white flowers in the park.
