Recreating Eden: Saturday Photo: Bridal Veil, the Flower for June Weddings?


According to some studies, June is still a very popular month for weddings, along with (surprise! surprise!) October.  

 I presume the generally good weather is the origin for June’s popularity, and, in the circuitous way things work aroumd,  why this lovely shrub is called Bridal Veil.  Technically, its name is spirea , which comes from the Greek and means “wreath.” Aesthetically, it looks like an idealized bridal accessory, either a veil or a bouquet that a bride might carry.

 Whatever, it is in bloom here now, and is very lovely.
