Don't you just love
snowballs in summer?
Our snowball bush is in full bloom.
Just love the white balls of blooms,
drooping from their limbs with
the weight of their beauty.
Fluffy balls full of dainty white flowers.
Just wish they could last a little longer.
Happy White Wednesday.
Enjoying and appreciating spring,
the beauty of flowers,
and you.
~ Julie

Those flowers are gorgeous in that silver urn. I would love to have one of those bushes in my yard. Do they dry well and do you use them dried?

ReplyDeleteJulie,
ReplyDeleteYour garden is gorgeous! We've just planted a snowball bush in our backyard! They are so lovely! Thank you for your sweet comments on my recent wood furniture finds! They've already sold, which tells me that not everyone is all about painted pieces these days! I do love the mix of styles and color...as much as I like the neutrals! Have a lovely weekend! Hope you get to do some treasure hunting! I see there are some sales that look good in your neck of the woods!
Best Wishes and Blessings,
Amanda
Just gorgeous! So much better than the snowballs in winter. :)

Hi Julie,

Yes the weeds... I am afraid they are winning down here!!
