Hydrangea Plant
The Hydrangea plant and its lovely flowers are an unbeatable flowering plant for growing and displaying large colorful flowers indoors and outdoors.
Hydrangeas are often called hortensia, but it’s not the scientific name.
What's in the Name
The name Hydrangea comes from two words. The one word is hydra which means water and the other angeion which means vessel or jug in Greek. The botanist Grovonius named the plant in 1739 and he though that the fruit of the flower looked like a water pitcher of the time.

One of the most interesting things of this plant is that some of the species can change their flower color. Read more about Hydrangea color.
Art
You don’t have to stop there... you can also enjoy these flowers painted or printed in anyway you like because they have been and still are a popular flower in art and photography.
 Wallpaper
To make it super easy (and free) to enjoy, I have added a Hydrangea wallpaper. This wallpaper has been on the web site for a long time and it still is one of the most popular wallpapers. You can also read the story behind the flower in the picture.
