[Leica] IMG: Old Fashioned Snowball Bush

[jhnichols at bellsouth.net (Jim Nichols)]

It's not Friday, but the linked image represents a part of my life that 
began a long time ago.  When I was a child in the 1930s, living in an old 
farmhouse on a family farm in Mississippi, the flowers that I knew were 
those that were obtained from friends and neighbors as cuttings or volunteer 
plants surrounding older plantings.  I presume that is how this original 
snowball bush came to be there.  Thirty years later, after the house was 
long gone, my wife brought an off-shoot of the bush to our home in 
Tennessee.  After having been moved around our back yard several times to 
find a location where it could prosper, it finally found a happy home and 
has really presented us with blooms this year.

Nursery stock, planted a few feet away, has been really disappointing.
