RE: The "White Bride" bush.

I love plants and the stories associated with them. This was a very nice and heartfelt piece of writing. I've always enjoyed learning about local traditions and folk beliefs related to plants; the story of the "White Bride" shrub is quite charming and memorable. Whether the legend is true or not doesn't matter, because this belief adds a special meaning to this already beautiful plant. I can imagine how impressive it looks when covered in snow-white flowers.
