I grew up in Connecticut, and my mother had a huge snowball bush in the front yard (blooms bigger than baseballs) and a huge purple lilac bush in the backyard (the fragrance was heavenly). I wish I could grow them here in Phoenix, but the high heat would cook them.
We have a snowball bush, but last year it was severely pruned, so few "balls" this year. With the hedge that shaded it gone, it should be lovely next year.
I see your blog daily, it is crispy to study. Your blog is very useful for me & i like so much... Thanks for sharing the good information! starbet agent
I have never heard of this one but you know I am from Iowa. I decided to not move my Iowa wild rose to the new place. Too invasive and it takes years off by dying back.
Thanks for stopping by! I appreciate your comments! If you have a question I will try to answer it here. I no longer accept anonymous comments. All comments will be approved before posting...due to spammers...may the fleas of a thousand camels infest every hair on his body. Connie
OHHHH I want one! I see your beautiful stuff and want one of each!
ReplyDeleteI like your snowballs in June.
ReplyDeleteI love your snowball bush. That is such a pretty flower. My first mother-in-law had them all over her yard. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteNice flower! Does it have a scent? It sure is pretty. :-)
ReplyDeleteNo not much of a scent:)
DeleteOh, it is so pretty. We bought one bare root this year, but it has struggled.
ReplyDeleteHave a good day.
Beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, mine bloomed about 2 months ago.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blooms!
ReplyDeleteI'd call it a Guelder Rose but they are certainly pretty
ReplyDeleteWe had a huge snowball bush at the home where I grew up in Small Town KS. Always a beautiful bush.
ReplyDeleteI remember my Grandma Johnson having snowball bushes! In Minnesota, of course. ;)
ReplyDeleteIs that a type of hydrangea? Nice to have something snowy that you don't have to shovel!
ReplyDeleteI love your snowballs!
ReplyDeleteHappy June!
ReplyDeleteMuch nicer than the other 'snowballs' that you get rather a lot of from November to April ;-)

ReplyDeleteMy granny has a snowball bush. It was fun!
ReplyDeleteThose would be the only snowballs I want to see right about now! Spectacular looking bush!
ReplyDeleteYour Snowball bush is quite lovely!
ReplyDeleteHappy first day of June!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I seem to remember a similar Bush from my childhood in Iowa.
