Viburnum opulus, Guelder rose, GEWOHNLICHER SCHNEEBALL
I always thought it was called a Snowball tree.
Not knowing German I looked up gewohnlicher which seems to mean common, so I suppose the name in German means common snowball
A stamp issued by Austria in 2007.
The photo is of a Viburnum plant in a pedestrianized street in Sparta.
Viburnum opulus is mentioned in three issues of THE MEDITERRANEAN GARDEN, one in a garden in Australia, one in a garden in France and one in the National Gardens of Greece in Athens , which article to choose ?
