The
hydrangea flowers, themselves, are actually comprised of several
smaller blooms bunched together. The smaller blooms in the
center are the fertile blooms, while the larger flowers on
the outside are sterile, and used as protection for the more
delicate ones. Many of the hydrangea flowers are very delicate
and not wind resistant. Because of this, any heavy exposure
to wind will destroy the beautiful plants.
Hydrangea
flowers are very popular in floral shops and as decorations.
They dry out very easily and make wonderful everlastings.
The blooms are very common for use in arrangements and the
individual tiny blooms that make up the flower are often used
as garnish.

| Hydrangea
flowers can be used for just about any occasion. They look
beautiful either in the garden, in the home, or on display.
The scent of hydrangea flowers wafting through the air on
a warm spring breeze will add a touch of romance to a deck
or patio. On display in an arrangement of other dried or fresh
flowers, the hydrangea is beautiful and large enough to take
center stage.
