First of all, i would like to thank all of you Steemians who contributed absolutely top notch comments and pics to this blog. You have made it a truly great blog for a plant enthusiast to come and see great information and awesome pictures of flora and it's wonders. I really enjoy reading your comments and i try to take some time to find out which Country you are from. Australia really does benefit from Multiculturalism as do many other Countries. Thanks, to all my MATES !!!
Lacecap Hydrangeas are one of my favourite plants. The flowers are very different to normal Hydrangeas, with a group of fertile flowers in the centre, and a ring of infertile flowers around the outer edge. These Lacecaps require the same conditions as normal Hydrangeas... they will grow in most places except the tropics, and they need a semi-shaded position, away from hot sun in summer, and plenty of moisture around the roots. They are easily grown from Hardwood cuttings taken in Winter when the plants are dormant. Lacecap Hydrangeas come in several different colours, including reds, white, pink and blues. I took the photos in my local area in Sydney, and in the last photo, i have shown you a plain vanilla "Mophead" or "normal" Hydrangea , just to show you the difference between the two varieties of the plant.
