Hortensia - long-stemmed, HUGE hydrangeas

Is A hortensia the same as a hydrangea? I have been seeing these pop up on Instagram and I finally found out what they are, where they are and who is growing them in Holland, Pico Bello. MY heart stopped! 

Have you ever heard a hydrangea bush called a "hortensia"? Long used as a common name for the plant, the name 'hortensia' also indicates a specific selection of bigleaf hydrangea, which goes by the scientific name Hydrangea macrophylla 'Hortensia.
