Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla)
There are over 70 different types of hydrangeas, they can be recognized by their lush clusters of flowers (like mini bouquets) that grow out of green leafy bushes. To go along with the “hydra” in its name, these wedding bouquets require a lot of water if you want to grow them.
Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera)
Lotus flowers are sacred to Buddhists and represent enlightenment because the lotus flower can bloom beautifully above cloudy or muddy water. They are often seen floating through beautiful ponds but they can be planted in a container with pea gravel and water.
