   Hello-
   I would appreciate it if the Horticulturist could tell me the type of hydrangeas in bloom along Oak Avenue (on the left side driving towards Willow Pond in a group of 4 or so.)
   Thank you.

     Hi Bill, our Plant Records & GIS manager, Stephen Jackson replies:

     I was out this morning looking at the Hydrangeas on Oak Ave. There is a mass on the East side of Oak Ave near lot 2815 (Between Magnolia and Larch Avenues) that are Hydrangea paniculata ‘Bulk’, sold as the QuickFire® Hardy Hydrangea. They have white flowers right now, but will turn pink throughout the summer. Monrovia has several listings in our area for purchasing (Monrovia.com) – search for the plant, then select on “find a garden center”.

     We hope this helps answer your question! Enjoy the summer blooms.
