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 Snowflake Hydrangea has garnered worldwide recognition for Alabama's native plant biodiversity and has become a central symbol of Aldridge Gardens, a public space dedicated to educating the community about native flora and conservation.

Additionally, the resolution honors the contributions of the Aldridge family, particularly Eddie and Kay Aldridge, in promoting the Snowflake Hydrangea and enhancing Alabama's horticultural legacy. The establishment of Aldridge Gardens has not only served as a venue for showcasing this flower but has also played a vital role in local tourism, education, and environmental stewardship. The resolution formally recognizes the Snowflake Hydrangea as a botanical treasure of Alabama and expresses appreciation for the Aldridge family's enduring impact on the state's natural beauty and cultural heritage.
