Pink blooming shrub
 
OK - I only caught a quick glimpse of it, but does any one know a
shrub/small tree that looks like a pink flowered honey locust. Location,
southern New Hampshire, planted as a hedge along the road.

I don't believe I'll be that was again soon, but.....man, it was pretty.

Thoughts folks.thanks

It's a little early for these to be blooming, but does it look anything
like this?

I doubt it would be a heather. The mimosa is a possibility, but I
thought they bloomed just a bit later around here?

No to both. Only had the stop light (and a short one at that) to look (and
drool), but leaf structure was that of the honey locust and flowers were
very similar as well. Can't get back there - it was a detour around a detour
and I couldn't recreate it if my life depended on it...

One of the Robinia species, perhaps? They should be flowering about now...

Could well be Robinia hispida but should be too tender for around here
(southern NH) especially along the road.

Thanks though
