Thanks for reminding me of 'Annabelle." That's the one in my border that
receives part sun. I would guess that it is the weight of the blossoms;
they're huge, beautiful and plentiful. The medication I'm on for arthritis
is making my mind forgetful (at least that's the convenient excuse I use)
:-)
Now if someone would remind me of the other hydrangea. It's a common
variety: large white round heads that turn to a sort of ivory as the flowers
age. My wife uses them in dried arrangements.
