AKA Viburnum.

In the summer we are graced with the presence of the hydrangeas perfectly sized to grace a rose. In the spring, things botanically need to be smaller.  The sight of a giant summer hydrangea beside a dainty peony, squat hyacinths, ranunculas, anemones, or delicate hellebores just doesn’t work, but thankfully nature found the perfect fit to suit tiny blooms – the wonderful snowball.  These little round balls of delight in both white and spring green bridges the gap nicely to connect springs seasonal delights.  I love them on their own or mixed in with everything else that represents new beginnings. 

In the language of flowers, they represent young of heart and spirit.
