The 'All Summer Beauty' Mophead Hydrangeas have started to bloom. They start out a light greenish, then turn a little pinkish, and then turn to purple and finally to blue. (Again, in the bottom photo, you can see where I grown Clematis up through a shrub).
These three are a lace cap hydrangea macrophylla 'Lady in Red'. It has lacecap flowers that open pinkish white and turn a burgundy rose as the age. The foliage turns reddish purple in the fall and the stems and veins in the leaves are red. Mine is located on the northwest side of the house, just outside the family room window. It's part of my little 'courtyard' garden between the end of the drive, and the gate to the back yard.
