I have known for a long time that pink hydrangeas were a result of alkaline soil, while blue hydrangeas grow in acidic soil. However, I learned that white hydrangeas are native to the US. While riding my bike back from Toshimaen, I couldn't help but smile every time I saw one of these transplants - an import just like me.
I was really impressed with all the new varieties. It always impresses me to see how many different types of something there is. So many people only see what is offered at Home Depot, but there is so much more to plants than their limited offerings. I wanted to know the names of the variegated flowers and tiny hydrangeas. They were so beautiful and interesting. I want to have several of these beautiful flowers in my yard. Of course, I don't have a yard right now. But a girl can dream, even if she's in Tokyo!

I could have walked around the garden for a very long time. My boys were not so interested. They wanted to go ride on the rides. I'll have to come back again in the next couple of weeks to go through it again.
Maybe next time I will get the "rent a snail" that you can borrow for free to make your photos more interesting! (I'm not kidding!!!)
