Hydrangeas
The Multi-facetted Hydrangea
The Hydrangea, or Hortensia, is a beautiful and extremely abundant flower. The symbolic message behind the Hydrangea is one of love, Enlightenment, understanding and gratitude, making this a perfect bloom to say “Thank you” or “Thank you for understanding”.
Since the hydrangea stands for understanding, which is obviously an important component of any successful marriage, it is a perfect gift for sending to your partner after difficult times. Get things back on track with a gift that looks great and means a lot.
Hydrangea’s can be blue, red, pink, light purple, or dark purple depending on the acidity of the soil they grew in; acidic soils make blue flowers, neutral Ph soils produce white or cream petals, and alkaline soils create pink flowers.
Blossom and Twigs has several very arty bouquets of hydrangeas - browse through our gorgeous arrangements and let your thoughts get lost in their petals.
NB: Hydrangeas are moderately toxic if eaten, with all parts of the plant containing a mild cyanide-type of poison, so don’t put them there where toddlers, puppies or kittens can eat them!
