Thanks heaps Leanne, I had no idea what it was!
Hi Shanna! This is a Hydrangea, though I must say it looks a little unwell. The interesting thing about these plants is you can change the colour of the flowers by altering the pH of your soil. Acidic soil will produce blue flowers & they become more oink as the soil becomes more alkaline. I've also seen white varieties too. They were a very popular shrub, say when our Granparents were passing around cuttings with their neighbours :)
