Considering the other snowballs we've had in the not too distant past, I much prefer these! Taken at the Chicago Botanic Garden. All comments appreciated.

Kathy - We have leaves, we have a few buds beginning to show, but the flower balls are yet to come. This shot reminds me of the beautiful garden scene yet to be. Thanks for reminding me with this great shot. Thad

I've seen these flowers before, but I just don't remember where or when. Another excellent photo of a beautiful flower.

I love hydrangeas - every time I prune them I plant some cuttings and up they come!
