Happy Friday everyone. Today’s flower of the day is called the Penny Mac Hydrangea, spotted in the conservatory at City Park, Launceston. I have recently learned that it is named after a real person, Penny McHenry, a well-known hydrangea enthusiast from Atlanta, Georgia. She founded the American Hydrangea Society and was influential in popularising hydrangeas in American gardens. How cool is that?!

Hydrangeas are among my favourite flowers. This variety is really pretty.

Wow, what an amazing bloom!
Funny that I live just a few miles south of Georgia, but I’ve never seen a hydrangea like this one. I probably need to get out more! 🙂
Thanks for sharing this, Wayne. Love seeing something beautiful to start my day. Cheers!
