This was voted best new plant, part of a series of new hydrangeas by a Japanese Breeders Assoc. It's named Makita Yae and I'd just post the photo but it isn't mine.

Oh, it's beautiful! The petals are so delicate.
It looks so soft. I love hydrangea.

I just saw it in the Parks catalog in the mail yesterday... :)
That is a VERY pretty Hydrangea - unique bloom shape as well as color...
wowowow - it's only $14.95 at parks! [only $11.95 if there are 2 others who want to form our own little Mikata Yae co-op!]

I'll do one - gotta have it! Just need one more HH!

order's been placed - if we don't find one more person, matters not.
Oh, I want one SO bad... BUT have ABSOLUTELY no place to put one until I move. Don't want to chance it not making it over winter in a pot either.
I think it's the prettiest hydrangea I've even seen. Glad y'all are getting them!!!!
Cool!!!!!!!!! When do they ship? :>
