Blue Lace-top Hydrangea

Summer can't get much showier than this!

The blue hydrangea is a warm-season favorite down South, 

and these beauties were grown by former District Judge Miller Childers.

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!
