Something that I have always wondered about is, why hydrangeas for resurrecting the dead? Well finally I think I found the reason! Japanese Buddhists use hydrangea tea (amacha) as a substitute for the legendary ambrosia Amrita which gives you immortality (according to Indian legend it was created to enable the gods to retain immortality, though I'm not sure whether they drink it or bathe in it). So I guess this could be what inspired Mitsuru Hattori to use a hydrangea potion for a resurrection potion.
