Hydrangea (/ha?'dre?nd?i?/;common titles hydrangea or hortensia) is a genus of 70-75 kinds of flowering crops indigenous to southern and eastern Asia (China, Japan, Korea, the Himalayas, and Indonesia) and the Americas. By far the greatest varieties diversity is eastern Asia, notably China, Japan, and Korea. The majority are shrubs 1 to 3 meters tall, however, many are small trees and shrubs, and others lianas reaching up to 30 m (98 feet) by climbing up trees. They can be either evergreen or deciduous, although greatly cultivated temperate varieties are deciduous.Having been introduced to the Azores, H. macrophylla is very common now, on Faial particularly, which is known as the "blue island" because of the vast number of hydrangeas present on the island.Life cycleHydrangea plants are created from early spring to late fall months; they grow in flowerheads (corymbs or panicles) frequently at the ends of the stems.
Usually the flowerheads contain two types of blossoms: small non-showy bouquets in the guts or interior of the flowerhead, and large, showy bouquets with large colourful sepals (tepals). These showy blooms are often long in a engagement ring, or to the exterior of the small flowers. Vegetation in outdoors populations have few to none of them of the showy flowers typically, while cultivated hydrangeas have been bred and chosen to have more of the bigger type bouquets.There are two flower arrangements in hydrangeas with Corymb style inflorescens, which include the commonly grown "bigleaf hydrangea"--Hydrangea macrophylla. Mophead blossoms are large circular flowerheads resembling pom-poms or, as the name indicates, the comparative mind of the mop. On the other hand, lacecap flowers bear round, flat flowerheads with a center core of subdued, small flowers surrounded by outer rings of larger flowers having showy sepals or tepals.
The blossoms of some viburnums and rhododendrons can look, initially, comparable to those of some hydrangeas.Land and colors acidityIn most types the bouquets are white, however in some types (notably H. macrophylla), can be blue, red, pink, light purple, or dark purple. In these types the colour is damaged by the existence of aluminium ions which are available or tangled up depending upon the dirt 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 cause pink or red flowers.
This is the effect of a color change of the blossom pigments in the existence of aluminium ions which is often taken up into hyperaccumulating vegetation.[6] Bringing down the pH of potting soils or mixes usually does not change the rose color to blue, because these soils haven't any aluminum ions. The capability to blue or pink a hydrangea is also influenced by the cultivar. 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 influenced by aluminum and can't be changed or shifted. Hydrangeas likewise have a nickname called 'Change Rose'.
