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.

Have you seen any Bandersnatchi lately? Were any frumious?

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".
