Introduced. From our garden. I'm unsure if this is a particular cultivation of Hydrangea arborescens, I suspect it is. Notable feature of this plant is that it blooms so heavily, that often the stems collapse under the weight of the flowers. Specialized cultivations solve this problem, yet add even more flowers, requiring yet again a stronger stem, and so on. Leading to names like "Strong Annabelle" and "Incrediball".

''Hydrangea arborescens'', commonly known as smooth hydrangea, wild hydrangea, sevenbark, or in some cases, sheep flower, is a species of flowering plant in the family Hydrangeaceae. It is a small- to medium-sized, deciduous shrub up to 3 m tall that is native to the eastern United States.
