Blue Hydrangea

Does anyone know what kind of hydrangea this is?

Rather than the petals forming round balls, they grow in flat clusters.

Thanks to guest photographer Christine Weerts for sending this picture!

WELCOME!

Selma is among the oldest cities in Alabama and has the largest contiguous historic district. It is known for its Civil War and Civil Rights history. The Battle of Selma was one of the last fought in the War Between the States, and the town was a center for the Voting Rights Movement in the 1960s. Today, with a population of about 20,000, Selma is the largest town in the western Black Belt region. The Black Belt, named for the color of its soil, stretches across Central Alabama from Mississippi to Georgia.
