Re: is this list still here?/ Most impressive plant

I was fortunate enough to get cuttings of oak leaf hydrangea about six years ago, from someone on a 
gardening email list; he was in Georgia, I'm in NYS;  only one survived, and that hasn't yet blossomed but has 
seemed to get stronger and bigger each year so far.  I'd like to get some more, but they're hard to find in 
nurseries here.
