This has been the best year yet for our two viburnum bushes. They are so loaded with creamy snowball blooms, the bottom branches are touching the ground.
I've always admired these bushes and they were one of the first we planted on the farm when we moved here almost 10 years ago.

This is so beautiful! Love the books and how you've made the hole picture so elegant and vintage-like!
ReplyDeleteThey are quite beautiful. I love the soft dreamy look.
ReplyDeleteIt must look so pretty outside at your place - love this pic! :-)
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful - such soft feeling to that photo! Hubby and I had a discussion about viburnum the other day...he was thinking you could change the color by adding acid of alkali to the soil...I had to straighten him out and tell him that was hydrangea. I am not sure he believes me still!
ReplyDeleteOh I just love those 'snowball' bushes! Never knew their proper name. Now that I have space, time to get some planted. I the mean time, your lovely picture will keep me inspired.

ReplyDeletePerfection! These take me back to my childhood when our neighbor had huge bushes of viburnums (that I only ever referred to as snowballs).

ReplyDeleteLuxurious quality, and I too enjoy these beautiful posies, though we do not have any, I love seeing them in yards all around. Very creative way in which you photographed them and I am still trying to figure out how to add my texture program I purchased to my photo program to be able to have fun with~

ReplyDeleteOh - it wasn´t my photo, it´s a print! Not sure I´d find that kind of bug in Sweden, but who knows?! :-)
