I am at home in British Columbia where everything is a-bloom.
Common viburnum. Rue or Basket of GoldThis rue was being used as a ground cover, but it’s beautiful in a hanging pot, too. Viburnum opulus (aka hydrangeas). This is a sub-species of the plant in the first picture, but it has been hybridized to produce these rich, dense blooms.
I agree. I’ve always known it as rue, but then I found out that it’s also called Basket of Gold. Such a great name for this intensely yellow-flowering plant.
It was so great to find a rock garden covered in it and surrounded by rhododendrons; such a profusion of growth and colour! Thank you very much – we are having a long weekend, so that’s always great! I hope you’re having a good one too.
Yes, I will be! I have to finish up some work stuff remotely and I might have to return to NWT for a couple of weeks in August or September but otherwise I am in BC and soon will switch my health care and driver’s. Yay! 😁
I love this time of year when everything is in bloom and full of colour. Looks beautiful. Enjoy your weekend. Linda

I like viburnum. It’s not traditionally known for being a spring flower like tulips or daffs, but I enjoy its simplicity. Happy Weekend to you!
