I'm trying to find out the name for a plant which is very common

easily
in good conditions but seldom gets more than about waist high.
It has
flowers like a prunus in either white but more commonly pink.
Quite a
dull little plant except for a brief time in Spring.
It's the sort of plant that grew in Grannies gardens and the
ancient
maiden Aunt always had one - very old fashioned so I don't think
it
would have been a plant that has had much attention from the
nursery
trade (and I've never seen it for sale) but would have been
handed on
by digging up a sucker or three.
Anyone got any ideas?
Any chance of a link to some photos?
Any fruit on it?
It never has any sort of fruit, just these soft fluffy wee flowers in
Spring. And it's not the Prunus tenella sugggested by Barbara (thanks
for that suggestion). And I don't have a web site to link to a pic
unfortunately.
Well, try Prunus glandulosa then
Equally small, equally overrated as a
garden shrub IMO.
