It sounds as if you have a Lacecap Hydrangea ... they look quite different to the mophead types. Much more delicate and elegant ...

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
The middles don't open fully, it's something to do with the fertilisation. The outside flowers are different to the inside ones, can't remember off hand exactly which is which but I saw a programme on tv about the reproduction of the lace cap.
thankyou, yes i can see that mine is a lacecap now,
