Carletta said...: I inherited my snowball bush and it was so huge right beside my front porch that I had to cut it back and it hasn't bloomed but looks really healthy. Hoping it blooms again next year.

This one is beautiful!

Your odd shots from the previous post were pretty cool.; July 23, 2008 10:56 AM

Have a great week!; July 23, 2008 6:34 PM
Neva said...: My husband does that a lot.....prunes until it looks to be near death and then...viola! ....a beautiful year of blooms...usually I don't mind what he does but he does get carried away with the chain saw from time to time.....about my daughter....for 4 weeks she is in a field study program and then for 3 weeks in a home study spanish program and then a girlfriend from New Zealand will meet up with her and THEN they will back pack....yikes doesn't even describe me.......but at least she won't be alone...as if that makes me feel THAT much better....thanks for asking!; July 24, 2008 6:53 AM

Mary said...: Beautiful! I'm always surprised at how much one can cut back a bush and it just bounces right back more beautiful than ever! I never seem to be in control of mine, because I'm too often afraid to cut them.; July 25, 2008 8:54 AM
