And those seeds, once brown and ready to explode, are edible and quite tasty, with a nutty flavor. If you scrape off some of the brown coating with your fingernail, you'll see a robin's egg blue color underneath that's quite a lovely surprise. Here is a link that might be useful: Edible Seeds

That particular one is one of the Lace Cap Hydrangeas. If you want to grow them they are widely available in many varieties. But be warned. In many parts of the UK the flowers will not be blue like that but a muddy pink. You need acid soil to get that colour.

My apologies! I will attempt to move the picture to a more accessible site. I didn't realize this one required a sign-in. I was able to post the picture directly to the GALLERY side of this site, under "Flower in Leu Gardens, FL" Tnx Mike

You got the "common name" right in your picture tag, Yvonne.

It is called "Golden Chain" but when you mention that most people think of Laburnum or Cassia fistula.
