There is marshy and wet ground despite the 15,000 trees drawing water from the land.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 363px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2659\/3900086520_6a0d258173_m.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"363\" height=\"272\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Paniculata<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This Hydrangea quercifolia or oak leaved hydrangea looks a bit bedraggled in the photograph but it looked marvelous insitu.
