I looked up on Wikipedia and got the following information.
Hydrangea macrophylla is a species of flowering plant in the family Hydreangeaceae. Common names include bigleaf hydrangea, French hydrangea, lacecap hydrangea, mophead hydrangea, penny mac and hortensia. They are widely cultivated in many parts of the world in many climates.
Hydrangea macrophylla blooms can be blue, red, pink, light purple, or dark purple. The leaves are generally serrated and are "simple, membranous, orbicular to elliptic and acuminate".
Pelargonium is a genus of flowering plants which includes about 280 species of perennials, succulents and shrubs commonly known as geraniums, or storksbills.
Geranium is also the botanical name and common name of a separate genus of related plants, also known as cranesbills. Both genera (storksbills and Cranesbills) belong to the family Geraniaceae.
Botanically, only perennial geraniums are true geranium plants. The most popular annual geraniums — the ones you need to plant each year — actually belong to the Pelargonium family, which means they're not true geraniums at all.
