Boule de neige is blooming (PHOTOS)

In Transcarpathia, it is also called "lobdo – ruzho" (ball flower). This is the flower of the cranberry tree, which has the shape of a "snowball" (Lat. Viburnum opulus var. sterile).

The flowering occurs in May and lasts more than a month. Boule de neige prefers bright ambient light, it feels well in partial shade. In dry periods, boule de neige needs watering.

In folk medicine, the flowers of the cranberry (Lat. Viburnum opulus) (not "snowball") are used for sclerosis, pulmonary tuberculosis, hypertension, kidney disease, heart disease and as a diaphoretic. The flowers are harvested during the flowering season, quickly dried in the shade, and stored in boxes lined with paper. Flavonoids, organic acids, vitamin C and essential oil are found in its flowers.
