I found this native hydrangea last Sunday on the banks by Rainbow Falls in North Carolina. Though not as showy as some of its cultivars it is still a beauty. This shrub was growing on steep banks in heavy shade.
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. Psalm 23:2-4
