There is a large (10' high) shrub near me with round umbels of
fist-sized, round umbels of slightly asymmetric 5-petalled
whitish flowers c. 3/4" across. Its leavs are very like those
of a current or gooseberry (i.e. three pointed lobes, toothed
and light green, thin and not glossy). Any ideas?


I assume that you already know Viburnum opulus 'Roseum'.


I didn't, actually. It is probably a V. opulus, but not 'Roseum',
from the pictures. Thanks very much (and to Spider).
