A kingfisher holding an aluminum ion flies toward hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla). Hydrangea flowers have a wide variety of colors, but the pigment is the same, delphinidin 3-glucoside, in both red and blue flowers. One of the keys that makes flowers blue is aluminum ions, and it is believed that the formation of a complex between delphinidin 3-glucoside, aluminum ion and copigment (e.g. 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid) results in blue flowers (Ito et al., (2018) Molecules 23, 1424). Three aluminum transporters have been identified in hydrangea so far, one of which was reported in Genes to Cells (Negishi et al., (2013) Genes to Cells 18, 341-352).
