Snowball of Summer.......
I learned some new names for my hydrangea from reading a package label at a garden center. It was called a Japanese Snowball and I do remember people calling them snowball bushes when I was a kid. They also said it was a viburnum. That I had not realized that it was a part of that plant family.
I didn't purchase any of the plants. I just had a lot of questions answered about it. It is an old tradition plant that is put around foundations here in Iowa. I got my start from a house from up the street that was tearing it all out to put in a completely new and modern planting. Those people are long gone from that house but I still have a great reminet of their original old plantings.
Thanks for stopping by and I am grateful that Saturday is coming.
