Comments on this photograph from a Facebook friend. Mr. Sharma is from India and lives in Ireland. He frequently comments on photographs that I post in Facebook groups.
Subhash Sharma These unique lovely flowers of multiple blooms have colours of blue, red, pink, light purple, or dark purple depending upon the soil pH. An acidic soil (pH below 7) will usually produce flower colour closer to blue, whereas an alkaline soil (pH above 7) will produce flowers more pink. This is caused by a colour change of the flower pigments in in the presence of aluminium ions which can be taken up into hyperaccumulating plants. Apart from these different colour flowers the plant has various other qualities. Amacha (sweet tea) is a Japanese beverage made from fermented leaves of Hydrangea macrophylla. Hydrangeae Dulcis Folium is a drug made from the fermented and dried leaves of H. macrophylla var. thunbergii with possible anti-allergic and antimicrobial properties on which the work is still going on.
