Hot for hydrangeas

I’M NO amateur psychologist but I think that a lot can be told about an individual by their relationship with hydrangeas.

I have found there are two definite groups of people in the world: those who love hydrangeas and those who most certainly do not. I cannot think of any other group of plants that elicits such a strong and divisive reaction.

But one thing seems to be universal, show somebody a hydrangea and the answer is always: ‘they remind me of my grandmother’s garden’.
