Just yesterday I had noticed the first white blossoms of Bridal Wreath around town. They make me smile. Anytime my Daddy saw them blooming he would say their scientific name..”Spirea Van Hootii”… According to Mother, it was the only blooming plant he could identify and he liked saying the name.
From my post-hurricane notes:
“When our backyard fence was destroyed by Hurricane Michael and fallen trees and that further done when the tree debris removal was done, three bridal wreath shrubs were destroyed, too. A few stalks of one bush made a valiant comeback and was transplanted to a protected corner of the new fence. God’s plan for recovery includes inspired and instilled resilience at work! Hooray for spring after a long season of winter!” 3/27/19
