Here is a very special plant to me. Nostalgic, even. This is a snowball bush. My paternal grandmother had one of these in her back yard that was so big that a whole family could hide behind it. I have an adopted grandmother at church (mine have sadly both passed away) with an incredible green thumb. She is in her late 80's. I commented on her bush one time when I visited. She surprised me by rooting me one and giving it to me. Don't the blossoms look like snowballs?
My 13-year-old son took the pictures. He will be 14 TOMORROW!!
My hands were filthy because I was busy weeding. He got one of our azalea bushes in the background, slightly blurry because of the center of focus. Isn't this grand? Great shot, Benjamin!
Some quilty pictures on the next post. I've been hand quilting behind your backs.
This AM I'm off to help our pastor and his wife host 50 people for a graduation brunch at their home.
