When I was a kid, I remember my Nanny had a huge snowball bush at the corner of her house. I loved the big white balls of flowers — and so did every bee in Crothersville, Indiana. 🐝
I’d love to plant one here at the barndo, but haven’t so far. The other plant that reminds me of Nanny is a rose of Sharon and I don’t have one of those yet either.
The previous homeowners here must’ve loved someone that loved irises.
There are a few purple ones, but most are yellow and brown. (Ugh!) I’m pulling the weeds and keeping a clean edge between them and the yard, but this is one area I’m not touching or changing this year.
If I EVER finish the major landscaping project areas, I’ll be sure to at least pick up a snowball bush to remind me of Nanny.
