Tokyo has been under the third state of emergency since April 25, so I've had to find places with few people for weekend walking recently. One such place is around the Imperial Palace and another is near Ueno Park where I found the hydrangeas in the first three photos. 

Oakleaf hydrangea isn't as common as mophead hydrangeas, but not that rare. Something, however, makes the oakleaf ones in the temple different from those in my neighborhood, i.e., they are side by side with pink and purple mophead hydrangeas.  
 
There is another cone-shaped hydrangea called hydrangea paniculata or panicled hydrangea. If you're interested, compare these two types of corn-shaped hydrangeas.

This is the eighth post of a series about hydrangeas this year. If you're interested in other hydrangeas, read the following posts!!

上野寛永寺と近所の柏葉紫陽花(カシワバアジサイ)です。寛永寺の方は手毬紫陽花と一緒に咲いているのが珍しいです。糊空木(ノリウツギ)も円錐形ですが柏葉とは雰囲気が随分違います。今年見た紫陽花を下にまとめました。是非ご覧ください!
