I know what it is Martin, the idea was to use it as a test, hence the
first 2 pics posted were

and

The idea was to test people and to show that we don't really look
closely at flowers.
I could of course have posted a large picture with the name but that
would have been pointless.

Is it Hydrangea macrophylla Mariesii?



Quite right Sacha, though I only knew it as Hydrangea macrophylla.

I'm a shameless cheat. I walked past one in a pot in the nursery today
and thought "that pink colour looks just like David's photo". ;-) Btw,
that new camera of yours is pretty good, eh?!!
