Just to the south of the Philbrook water pond is a long bed of Oakleaf Hydrangea. The Oakleaf hydrangea is one of the few hydrangeas native to the United States. It blooms best in areas where summers are somewhat hot and can thrive in much dryer locations than its cousins. The Oakleaf gets its name from the shape of its beautiful large leaves. These leaves often turn colors of brilliant red, orange, yellow and burgundy in the fall.

Gorgeous and very unique flowers!
Don't usually like hydrangeas but this kind seems to have delicate flowers and lovely leaves. I think I might still find the bush as a whole a bit over-bearing though.

Beautiful plants. I have a place in the common property next to my home that would be perfect for these.
Very pretty. Hydrangeas do make a nice addition to the landscape!
I think I have seen this yesterday but I thought it's a flower from a tree. Great one and thanks for the info!

This is not a plant for a small bed. Here in the Philbrook garden it is used as a large background planting where it works perfectly.
What an attractive plant, similar, but different, to the hydrangea we get over here.
Gorgeous blend of colours!
These hydrangeas are especially pretty. This variety is new to me. I am used to the big blue ones. Your macro shot is stunning. Lots of lovely detail. Genie
