MariaJ Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Calling all botanists and gardeners -I need help at a bush with tiny pink flowers (different from the last one). This one was spotted in a community garden in Greater Vancouver, earlier this month. I've done image searches, but keep getting lilacs. The flowers aren't like lilacs in that they have long protruding stamens. Thanks for any suggestions. Maria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Park Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Spirea - Anthony Waterer - or similar (Spiraea japonica) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Richmond Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Looks more like Filipendula rubra than a shrubby Spirea. Is the foliage palmate - divided into 5 or 6 divisions with serrated edges? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Looks like F. rubra (maybe 'Venusta'), there's what seems to be a cotton candy leaf just to the bottom right of the flowers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
