Snow on the Mountain












The plant on the right is a little sprig of Snow on the Mountain growing at BB's house. It's a spreading shrub that makes leaves all white and pink colored when they first come out. It's very pretty. Unfortunately, it has a demon of a pest - a certain butterfly's caterpillars will munch it to the stalk, then eat all the bark off. Our Snows have been absolutely decimated lately. Posted by Picasa
