Was nice to wake up by my hubby this morning!<br /><br />I noticed lots of Oak-leaf Hydrangeas while in TN. They had them in the courtyard at the Hospital by the waiting room windows.

I really like these oak leaf hydrangeas (although to me the leaves look a lot more like maples); love the idea of the blooms turning chartreuse and of red peely bark.

They are the big ones. There are other cultivars for sure. These two get quite large.
