The flower of a hydrangea is one of the flowers representing summer of Japan. Before midsummer's coming, the time of a rainy season comes around in Japan, but the flower of this hydrangea greets full bloom exactly at that time. Since a rain drop and the flower of a hydrangea suit well, they are also a very popular flower. It is said that a Japanese native one is a Gaku hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla), and it is the result of improving the portion of Gaku in the West that it became a spherical hydrangea called a Western hydrangea although, as for the flower of the hydrangea, Japan is a country of origin. In Hyogo Prefecture, the flower of very many hydrangeas with famous Sairin-ji in Nishiwaki, Rokko-san driveway, Kobe forest plant garden, Aino hydrangea garden in a Sanda city, etc. can be seen.
