We have snowballs in April!
This snowball tree graces the rear courtyard at the Vaughan-Smitherman Museum.
I've seen quite a few of these small trees around town,
and they are just magnificent!
The structure in the background was built with part of the facade
from the old Hotel Albert, which was located where the City Hall complex
now stands. Designed after the Doge's Palace in Venice, Italy,
the hotel was built before and after the Civil War.
It was demolished in 1969, a loss that spurred Selmians to try harder
to preserve their historic structures.

These are the nice kind of snowballs.
I'm thinking hydrangeas. That's the word that came to mind and I Googled it and what I saw looks pretty much the same.
Certainly is beautiful "tree."
What a great name for a tree (and nice photo!)
what a beautiful tree. The last thing I would want to see in summer here in New England is snowballs! :)
That is a beautiful tree!
Such a pretty spot!
That is really a very beautiful tree, especially because the "snow balls" are flowers ! Spring moved into Belgium too from one day to the other !
A very beautiful tree indeed!Have a great day!

What a perfect name for this tree! It really is beautiful.
We had snowball (trees) in our yard when we had our Oregon house! They bloomed later though -- I remember having them for May Day baskets when the kids were small. Hadn't thought about them for years. Like so many spring flowers, we just don't see them here in the subtropics of SW FL.
thanks for the memories -- and the lovely picture.
Exquisite! I wonder how old the tree is, stately size, really.
Snowball bushes and trees are a bit behind yours, here in Vienna.
