Hydrangea or Viburnum......NEITHER !


The shrub at school has been in bloom for over a week now.  I took a few shots at the time when it was dropping petals off of its flowers.  It looks like it is snowing when the wind blows. Having read the differences between the hydrangea and viburnum I keep learning more about these two.  There isn't much difference other than they throw the snowball shrub into the viburnum category.

From a past blog post many years ago I found out the true name of the shrub.  I cut and pasted exactly what I had from a blogger friend from Scotland. I had blogged about it in April, 2011. When you click on it you will get to visit her blog from 2011.  She is a great blogger and follow her if you don't have a person from Scotland to follow.

Time's a Passing....

 The early morning was full of color as the sune was yet to be above the horizon. It has been cold and the sky adds to the feeling of winter...
