It's snowing...

...petals!

The viburnum shrub in the back garden is losing its snowball-like blooms.

It went from lime green to heavenly white
in the past two weeks but still smells fresh and sweet.

It was gorgeous this year and so full of blossoms it fairly bent to the ground if it rained. And to think, four years ago this thing was a $3 sad-looking stick I got on deep, deep clearance at the garden center.

Now the grass is covered with its petals.
So are my toes.

It's sad to see the virburnum go. But the guard is already changing.

Hello, peonies!
