Hi Everyone,

Last week we went to Heritage Museums and Gardens on Cape Cod and they have a lovely hydrangea display garden with all the plants labeled. Cape Cod has very acidic soil so most all of their hydrangeas are some shade of blue with a very few purple/mauve. They also have just started a pink garden but it appears they have a little more liming to do to get them actually pink, most are still mauve to purple. Anyway, on the edge of one of the lanes in the blue garden was this beautiful shell pink lace-cap with very large flowers. Definitely shell pink, not white and it had the label 'Grandad'. So when I got home I googled 'Grandad' and it appears to be a new variety that was found in New Zealand but the pictures on the Internet all show a mop-head which is beautifully round and definitly white..not a lace-cap. I'm wondering if any of you recognize this flower as I don't really think it was labeled correctly as 'Grandad'.

Thanks, Donna
