Did you know?
Hydrangeas are beloved flowering shrubs whose blooms shift color based on soil pH, appearing pink in alkaline conditions and blue in acidic ones—making them horticultural chameleons. Native to East Asia, they became fashionable Victorian garden specimens and remain popular for their large, full flower heads composed of dozens of tiny florets clustered together.
