Snowball Shrubs…

Snowball Shrubs…

Our Snowball Shrubs have exploded this week ~ we have four shrubs on our property and love every single inch of them! When I planted them in 2006, they were just tiny little mail order baby’s.

I planted them closer together than recommended so that the branches would grow together and be just one big mess of a plant ~ they are doing just that.

They are just a massive statement in the landscape right now! But they are beautiful as a cut flower as well! I couldn’t help but scatter them everywhere in the house!

A few other blooms in the garden today is the fun little hot pink primrose, and a couple of Bearded Iris’s ~

But I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of Roses and Peonies that are so close to blooming any day now!

Hope you are having a great week! Be sure to check out my link to any parties I am joining! xoox, tracie

I always do the same thing, planting things too close together.
These snowballs are gorgeous - like hydrangeas on steroids!

I'm dying! Your snowballs are gorgeous!! I buy them whenever I see them at the Farmer's Market. By far, one of my favorite flowers.
Thanks so much for sharing,

I'm assuming the snowballs are viburnums? Several together make a beautiful display.

Gorgeous blossoms. I just purchased a tree form snowball bush last summer so I am anxious to see how big the blossoms will be this year.

that snow ball bush reminds me of my Aunt Ollie she had a huge one and it was always fun to see it in the spring when we would drive down to see her and Uncle John about a 4 hour drive from our house

Your snowballs look beautiful! I hope mine made it through the snow. It is so fun to bring them inside. I love all of your photos with them.
Thanks for hosting the party!!

This reminds my of my grandma, she had a beautiful snowball bush in her yard. Yours looks lovely!

I have never been able to find one locally, maybe I should look online too.

Snowball bushes are so big and blousy and lovely. I love your indoor arrangements. Your peony buds are about where mine are. Such an exciting time of year.
