Hydrangea

The Hydrangea is a beautiful flower that has around 75 different varieties and is native to the countries of China, Korea and Japan. Being that they can be either deciduous or evergreen, the most widely used species of this flower are almost always deciduous. This flower has also had its hand in being introduced in new areas of the world, such as the Azores Islands of the country of Portugal. These flowers bloom in the early Springtime to late Autumn, and each contain two types of flowers. The color varies and includes but is certainly not limited to white, blue, red, pink, light purple, & dark purple. One of the most notable things about this flower is the color of the flower depends on the pH of the soil in which it is grown, so it leaves a lot of room for experimentation for different types of color varieties. This flower is mildly toxic if eaten.
