Favorite Hydrangea?

What is your favorite hydrangea and why? I'll start.

My favorite has to be Ayesha. It is pink, with each each little petal cupped like a spoon. It doesn't get too big, the flowerheads don't flop with a thundrstorm, and it doesn't wilt in the afternoon heat. Truly a winner. http://www.marysplantfarm.com/_photos/shrubs/hydrangea_macrophylla_Ayesha.htm

Who's next? :-)

I just discovered the native Oak Leaf Hydrangea and it stole my heart.

Aren't they great? I have mine to the north of my house, in full shade, and they still bloom like crazy. They are definetly a four season plant - one of the hydrangeas to bloom, the blooms go from white to a beautiful rose color, the leaves are gorgeous in the fall, and the peeling bark is remarkable in the winter.

Ayesha is a beauty. What a plus it doesn't wilt in the heat.
Judy, that is a wonderful oakleaf the bloom is spectacular and I really like the shape of the leaves.
My favorite is the Big leaf hydrangea Mopheads. They are just now begining to show their stuff.

They are so big when they mature. Little guys now but in a few more weeks they will be Huge... Weather providing.
Here is a closer view.

They certainly are pretty!!

I love the white ones as well as the blue ones.
