Hi All,

I wondered if anyone could please identify this beautiful
white-flowering shrub? I see a lot of them around my city of Plymouth
and have done for years. After 14 years of being a local mobile
gardener, it is one of the very few shrubs I have still not been able
to identify and anyone who has them has so far been unable to tell me
what it is. It looks like a variety of Spirea would be my best guess!

Flowers in early Spring,

Thank you

Terry.

Certainly looks like a Spirea to me, both flower and leaf. There are quite
a few species and many cultivars, and a can't say much beyond that.
