Mom's favorite?

I love this shrub because of my mom. We had one outside of our kitchen window when I was growing up. It was beautiful when it bloomed. My mom loved it most when the birds came and ate the seeds. I can still hear her happiness, especially when there was a cardinal feeding on it.

I love it because it is a bee magnet.

We also have a mock orange, another shrub that mom loved, and I’ve planted two lilacs (her favorite shrub too).

I never asked her what her favorite was. She would have needed to do a top 10.
