It's H. paniculata grandiflora or PG Hydrangea for short. Those panicles will turn reddish as they mature and the fall leaf color isn't too shabby either. It's one of the most stately woody plants available in my considered opinion.

You're so right! you really know your hydrangeas
I appreciate the wisdom, my mother was always my biggest influence growing up. She had two (vegetable) gardens and flowers everywhere, a pond... going at the same time and I didn't appreciate it enough when I was younger. Now I want to be just like her but sadly she has dementia so my time to learn more from her is growing shorter and shorter. 
I got my pruning sheers this evening, I am pretty sure the oldest one is okay. I'll do some scraping at the base of the next oldest tomorrow to see if there's any viable wood left. The everbloom one is a goner.
LOL

I can totally understand whyman, that tree is beautiful, my mom just calls them snow balls..
I've got to get me at least one or two of them. My new front yard is pretty good size and plain, needs some spicing up. Wonder how much they run? so absolutely gorgeous

There's a couple more Hydranges I like very much. I have to do a bit of finding to remember the name on one. It has really cool dark red stems. When I am on my laptop I may be able to post a pic. But there's one I love and I know you will too. It's H. arborescens 'Annabelle' with huge white blooms really larger than any blooms I've ever seen. It will stop you in your tracks.
Another had very cool dark dark red stems. I found a pic. Don't know if I can do this on my iPad let's see....

Nope. I'll get to it later. I found a site that has 'Annabelle' for sale. The plant can't be that big though so you'll have to wait five years for anything worth having but here's a link anyway...

A couple pix off the web
H.'Annabelle'
H. 'Annabelle'
H. macrophylla 'Cardinal'
fall color below
H. paniculata grandiflora 'Vanilla Strawberry'
I could see a white garden with 'Annabelle' as its centerpiece. Its so elegant. About the only thing I say that's bad about it is those huge blossoms get very heavy when wet and tend to flop over. But with some creative staking and tying it could be manageable. Wish I had the space.
