Granny, is that a dogwood behind with the variegated foliage? Nice blooms!

Good eye, Poochella. It was a bit of a surprise to find that dogwood hiding in the brush when I cleaned out the tangle that became this flower bed.

Cool, the difference is clear & amazing. These beauties remind me of cheerleader pom-poms. Is the pH different in the new soil area vs last year? It would be interesting to know what it is that makes the difference in the bloom color.
