Greetings. I was in a large garden near Warrington last week and there
was a bush in full blossom (white/pink). Each head of blossom consisted
of a few trumpet like flowers bunched together. The ngardener said it
was viburnum xxxxxxx. The xxxx sounded someting like nudeki (he
pronounced it nude - e - and the lat bit sounded like the word Pi, only
with a k).

I've tried looking it up but can't find it even mentioned anywhere.

Anyone have any ideas.

I've found viburnum bodnantense 'Dawn', which seems to blossom at the
same time, with similar colouring. I've also found viburnum nudum, but
that's very different.

Many thanks

Viburnum nudum cassinioides? Or Viburnum nudum winterthur, moonshine -
there are several, so Googling on Viburnum nudum should bring up
several possibilities. Otoh, was he saying Viburnum tinus?!

Thanks for the reply, but nothing like those. Forgot to say that his
understanding for the name he gave for the variety (as in my original
post) was given because whilst it is blossoming, there are no leaves at
all.

well there are a lot of Viburnums, but the majority end in "um" or ense, the
only one that I have found that ends in an i sound and is not evergreen is
farreri, look it up and see if it fits what you saw

Nudiflorum means, naked/bare flower. As in jasminum nudiflorum.

Viburnum bodnantense flowers on bare stems while leafless and is in
fower at this time of year. Ditto, viburnum farreri

Have you tried google "images" to check against what you saw?

Have you thought of emailing or ringing the property to ask for information?

'nudum' or 'nudiflorum' will mean no leaves but flowers. This narrows
your options. I think you need to do a bit of searching around for
images of the plant you saw. Assuming you're certain you saw a
Viburnum. Ring them up, email them, consult the source. I think we'd
all like to know what it is that you saw.

Thanks for the ideas folks. Viburnum bodnantense is the closest I've
got, but the actual blossom flowers are different in appearance.
Unfortunately the place was in the process of closing down and there
won't be anyone there now to ask. I'll settle for the bodnantense.

Thanks again
