This picture was taken by my groupmate yesterday.
Yesterday as we go to the indwelling house of our senior. This Flower caught the attention of my groupmates as hydrangea can be rarely seen here in province. And only an expert can tell what kind of Flower is it. As a person who love to read and explore things I am who says the name of the flower to my groupmates as they don't know what it is. But due of being so unforgetful I pronounce it incorrectly I called it hi-dra-gae.
