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!

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,

Your snowballs are beautiful, what's their real name? Love the chandelier!

Simply beautiful.
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.

its beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing your sweet blog at the Thursday Favorite Things Blog Hop ♥
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
So beautiful! My grandmother had the most beautiful snowball hydrangeas in her front yard. They're my favorites!
Beautiful! I love snow ball bushes.
How beautiful!! I will keep that in mind for when I have a yard some day because I would definitely love to have blooms like that!
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.
