Love the texture on the foliage 😍😍

@hkyfvr they’re gorgeous leaves. So much texture & colour. Shame they get plainer as they grow 😐

Did not realize that. Then you will have the flowers to enjoy. 😍

Camouflage berries 😛 #viburnum #japanese-snowball #viburnum-kilimanjaro-sunrise

I didn't see them until I read your comment 🙄😂❤

I didn’t know there was a pink flowering variety or do they start white and turn pink? Love the berries💕💗😍

These are so pretty. Love the deep colour and of course the red berries. ♥️💗

Wow! This is gorgeous!💘😍

@pelly 😂 the bright pink flowers are too distracting! 😅

@gjones it’s the strangest flower. It starts off almost lemon & peachy pink, then turns white, then pinks up a little. Haven’t ever seen it go this deep pink before as the flowers are usually long gone 💗

@hkyfvr thanks Diane 😁 haven’t seen them this colour before. It was a nice surprise! 💕

@ShelleySnyder thanks Shelley 😄 it’s such an interesting plant as soon as it starts to sprout leaves in spring. And the colour changes in the flowers are just lovely 😍

Very welcome! Sounds incredibly interesting! I love plants and flowers that are constantly changing!💘😍

So very welcome Kerry. Amazing how many colour changes it has had. 💗💕

That's interesting! So many colour changes - like having a different flower every month!

Love shrubs with brightly coloured berries😍

Are those edible? They sure look good.

I must go and see if I have some on mine

@gjones I always remember you do so I take Berry photos with you in mind 😛

@laketitlow sadly not 😐 it’s a shame when they look so tasty 😋 the birds do enjoy them though 😁

@sharonhayden only the bottom half has berries for some reason 😂 the top half is still in flower 🤪

Oh that's so sweet of you. I really do have a thing for shrubs that produce berries. We're adding a few flowering trees and shrubs that produce flowers/berries to our front lawn. We need more privacy/noise reduction from the road and I'd like it to be attractive too. Hope it looks good in a couple of years🙄

Still?? Mine stopped months ago

@gjones love that, practical doesn’t have to be boring 😛 berries give a great extension of interest to a plant, and food for the birds too 😁 will look lovely once it’s established

@sharonhayden it’s really strange, like the top part just froze 😂

It's the joy of gardening

#viburnum #japanese-snowball #viburnum-kilimanjaro-sunrise

That’s fabulous 🧡

😍 that's a plant I'm trying to get hold of. I'm waiting to hear back from a local garden centre if they have one 🤞

Beautiful 💚🧡💚

That’s lovely Kerry 😍

Love it 💕

@suerichards thanks Sue 😀 I’m a bit in love with it 😂

#viburnum #japanese-snowball #viburnum-kilimanjaro-sunrise

Viburnum are one of my favourite shrubs. I ordered another one this year😊

It's beautiful 😍😍 #texture

@gjones I can see why you like them so much! Only have 2 but they give so much interest at different stages 😍 how are things over your way? Garden weather yet?

@sherrisgarden thanks Sherri ☺️ will be the first time it flowers and can’t wait 🤗

You're welcome 😘

@kez001uk Yes weather has warmed up now (20C) today and about 1/2 of the garden is dry enough so I've started cleaning it up. You hanging in there thru this covid ordeal? We're still in lock down/isolation but our province is thinking of opening a few businesses next week (if our numbers stay low).

@gjones that’s great 😁 bet it feels nice to finally get out there again after a few months 😍 are you feeling back up to strength since you were unwell last year? I’m doing ok thanks. Staying home is what I do anyway so all this lockdown stuff isn’t so hard 😂 my aunt is in hospital with it but seems to be doing ok...

@gjones the care home she lives in had an outbreak and several deaths so am grateful they caught her symptoms. I read about your province, that’s a huge step in the right direction! You live much further apart from each other so that’s helping keep numbers low. Another benefit of countryside living 😁 keep safe 🙏🏻

Hope your aunt recovers quickly. We look at the covid19 numbers around the world every day. Many countries were hit hard including the UK. Glyn has a 6 month contract with our municipality but they haven't called him to work yet because of the virus. Healthwise we're both fine but every year the degenerative arthritis in my spine gets worse so I have to ease into yard work slowly or it triggers extreme pain in my sciatic nerve. Just part of getting older!😁 I was going to have a smaller ⬇

garden this year but instead have doubled the size of our veg garden. We've read articles that there may be food shortages this year so we're planting extra to share with friends, family and to preserve just incase there's any problems with the food supply. We can produce everything we need except we'd have to buy meat from a neighbour who raises cattle. We're preparing incase there's a second wave of covid this autumn.

@gjones thank you ☺️ the death rates are so scary. The densely populated areas are struggling so much but there are still people not listening to government advice 😞 I’m sorry to hear about your arthritis. Sounds like it can be quite debilitating so you do well to maintain your garden the way you do! Self sufficiency seems the way to go. Smart idea to prepare like you are. Hopefully it won’t end up as bad as they predict but thus has taught us to take nothing for granted 😔

Ooo love that #texture

Beautiful. They look like wings from that angle.

It does look like wings 💕

Beautiful 😍

A little angel 😁👍

Been racking my brains all day as this reminded me of something - finally got it, it's the Flying Snitch from the Harry Potter films! 😄😄 @kez001uk

@sushiwaitress thanks Ruth 😀 it’s like it’s been embossed 💚🤎

@novicegardenlover thanks Susan 😃 they really do, and each bud has a set of leaves like this. A bush of angels 👼🏻

@debs69 really cute aren’t they 😄

@cyndi thanks Cyndi 😁

@lovemygarden65 thank you Marilyn ☺️

Cataloging

Kerry, when she blooms, message me! I bet they're amazing!

@maldavis I certainly will 😁 can’t wait to see it in bloom, looks like it’ll be stunning 😍
