Geocache Description:

As you seek this series that spotlights a variety of flowers, don’t expect to see said flowers at the cache locations.
Please use discretion as you search. This is a place of business and you need to respect that.

As a chemistry teacher, one flower that I talk about in class is the hydrangea.  Most Southern country homes had bigleaf hydrangeas in the yard.  Blooms were either white, red, or blue.  Why do I speak about them in chemistry class?  The color of the bloom is dependent upon the soil.  If the soil is acidic, this type of hydrangea will bloom pink or red.  Basic soil yields a hydrangea that blooms blue or purple.  The white-blooming hydrangea is a different variety.

Congratulations to FIRST TO FIND: wewilldo7 !!! Please take care to replace the little cache back in its little niche!
