I wondered if the plant was sitting partly in acidic soil and partly in alkaline. When one of these hydrangeas (not all change color like this) is moved from one soil type to another, or has some other change in the ph of its environment they usually go a kind of dirty purple color for a year or two, a mixture of the blue and pink rather than showing them both like this.

Whatever the cause, it is a nice effect indeed 😀
