This was referred to on today's GQT.

Did they mean what we always used to call "flowering currant"?

I don't recall hearing about a flowering redcurrant before and since
they
were talking about a decorative bush, flowering at this time of
year,
it
obviously wasn't the redcurrant which of course does have flowers
but
not
showy ones.

Almost certainly Ribes.

We used to have one outside our front door a few years ago. Smelt of cat
pee
when you touched it. That's why it's not there now.

But is it the same as a 'flowering currant' - the one with hanging
clusters
of pink flowers?

That's what I think they meant, but I didn't see the programme.
