Viburnum plicatum var. tomentosum 'Summer Snowflake'
AS a footnote to the footnote, I posted my find on the internet as to what the plant really is called, not a snowball bush. Click here to go to my creative zone to see what it is called.

Snowball bush.......No it isn't Larry!!!!!
Ok, I bought this years ago and it came as a stick. I found a hydrangea, white domed smooth that looks like it but it wasn't that either. You people are correct. It is
I planted this many years ago and this is now the second year that I have seen it bloom. It was amazing how it just started to take off the year before as if it took a few years to get its roots developed.

Lovely! Different than the Snowball bush/tree I had in my yard in Oregon, it was big pom poms of white (always covered in ants, I learned when I picked some to bring inside once). I like yours better, almost look like they are related to Hydrangeas.
What a pretty snowball bush Larry. I visited with my 88 year old former neighbor today and we were discussing her old homeplace and all the snowball bushes she had! Thanks for sharing this photo.
I specifically remember the label calling it a snowball bush but I too think it is a different variety that the large puff ball shapes. It reminds me of the new hydrangeas that they are now selling.
What a lovely delicate flower, the bright white against the green is stunning.
Sunny :)
Hi Larry
I immediately thought of hydrangeas that I saw in Japan when I saw the brilliant white blooms and the ribbed leaf.
Happy days
There are lots of shrubs and even small trees that get labeled Snowballs..it does look a little like a Hydrangea..but I think it is too early for them to bloom..but you are warmer down there in Iowa:)
