Wrapping Paper - White Hydrangea

The hydrangea is a glorious, flowering shrub. The flowers can be pink, purple, blue, cream and, depending on the soil, magical combinations of these colors. In some varieties of hydrangea, the pH of the soil will determine the color. Blue requires acidic soil, with a pH of about 5.0 to 5.5. Pink or purple requires an alkaline soil, with a pH of 6.5 to 7.0. Neutral soil will generally result in cream-colored petals, but you can also get what some call "blurple" (blue and purple). Like clusters of tiny butterflies, the small florets gather into stunning spheres. The hydrangea is said to represent grace, friendship, lavish beauty and the preservation of love that lasts forever. This latter sentiment is likely why white hydrangeas are so popular for bridal bouquets. The pattern on this gorgeous wrapping paper repeats every three linear feet, but each wrapped gift will be covered in these spectacular white blooms. It is an excellent choice for birthdays, anniversaries and Mother's Day and a really good option for bridal showers and wedding presents.
