What is this Plant?

Jun 22, 2011 9 Replies

Hello all,


I am new to this forum so please be gentle.



I have this plant growing in my garden in Kent and would like to know what it is. It has clusters of tiny pink flowers and the leaves are approx 7.5cm long with serrated edges. I have attached a couple of photos.


I have tried online identification websites but to no avail.



Thanks in advance,



James

I think it looks like a Spirea (maybush) it could be a candlelight or a firefly.

Spiraea japonica. If the web is to be trusted 'Candle Light' has gold young foliage.

Newsgroups are a great way to discuss topics. In this case we are trying to identify a flower or plant.

Yes it is, and yes we are. And yes he did. (And he even spelled it right, to boot)

My last encounter with such asciionomical terrors were in the days of Nethack, but they were never any match for Mjollnir.

My reply was in reference to the (equally once-thought-extinct) "thread drift police".

Spirea might be a North American vernacular name for the plant.
