Lacecap Viburnum (Viburnum plicatum)
Snow In June in The Garden Brae
Snowcapped Olympic MountainsSnow in The Garden Brae June 1st!
Snow came in two forms today to The Garden Brae, but not the conventional ice crystals melt on your toungue way. This snow was refreshing nonetheless - it came in the form of a lace-capped viburnum with wintergreen leaves that had a hint of santa-suit-red in its veins.
Snow also came in the form of the snow-capped Olympic Mountain views across the ocean to our USA neighbours
This lace-capped viburnum is one of the existing plantings that thrives and goes well with the genius loci of the place - it's a keeper.

- a deciduous medium-sized shrub

- fall colour and fruits attract birds
...and then the clouds came in and the mountains were gone.

Beautiful lacecaps and your view is fabulous.
Loved the pic of the snow-capped Olympics. We're not as close but we see them every morning while walking the dog. After 4 years of living here it still makes me stop in my tracks.

Daphne - Thanks for visiting the Garden Brae and saying hello. As a kayaker and hiker and traveller you would have a great time here. We have a lot of kids with poi, too - some with fire poi.
Be seeing you at your blog.
cheers
