Hydrangea

This beautiful blossom is the first bloom on one of my Hydrangea bushes.  I've always found these plants to be fascinating.  You can Change a hydrangea from pink to blue by adding aluminum to the soil. Or Change it from blue to pink by removing aluminum from the soil or taking it out of reach of the hydrangea.  I remember my mother driving large nails into the ground around her plant.  You can even have different colored blooms on the same plant! 

I have one that is white.  Does that mean there are no minerals in the soil there?
