content: These are specimens of an oakleaf hydrangea plant. All of the associated mounts have leaves from an oakleaf hydrangea, which feature six symmetrical divots in each leaf, giving the leaf seven distinct sections. Some of the mounts have flowers in various stages of blooming, with the buds a light green and the blooms a cream white. The buds and flowers are on the ends of a shoot and form a conical shape altogether, with the overall bundle measuring approximately 18 cm. The leaves vary in size between 8-19 cm and the overall mount measures approximately 41 cm x 29 cm. This specimen description was written remotely based on images as part of Amber Kreiensieck's internship in Fall 2021.
