The resolution recognizes the Snowflake Hydrangea, a unique cultivar of the Oakleaf Hydrangea, as a significant botanical and cultural symbol for the City of Hoover and the State of Alabama. Discovered and cultivated by nurseryman Loren Aldridge and later patented by his son Eddie Aldridge, this flower is celebrated for its distinctive double blossoms and prolonged blooming season. The Aldridge family has played a crucial role in promoting the Snowflake Hydrangea, with Eddie Aldridge dedicating his life to its cultivation and preservation, culminating in the establishment of Aldridge Gardens, which serves as a public space for education and appreciation of native flora.

The resolution also honors Kay Aldridge for her contributions alongside her husband in transforming their home into Aldridge Gardens and serving as an ambassador for its educational programs. It acknowledges the impact of the Aldridge family's work on Alabama's horticultural legacy, local tourism, and environmental stewardship. The Snowflake Hydrangea was designated as the City Flower of Hoover in 2006, symbolizing beauty, resilience, and community pride, and the resolution expresses appreciation for the Aldridge family's lasting legacy in enhancing the natural beauty and cultural heritage of Alabama.
