 The flower. It is about 1cm (half inch) across  The leaf. It is about 5 cms (2 inches) long and 1cm at the widest. Whole shrub is about 1 metre tall, flowering now, not scented. Annoying because I am sure I ought to know it. TIA |

It does look very familiar to me--I can only think of 'Dog Rose' or a type of Crab Apple (with the white flowers) The flowers are very much like the the flowers on an Apple Tree Or Cystis (?)
I will be thinking about this one till I either remember or someone comes up with the identity of it.
I bet you beat us all to it ;D

Actually having been out today we now think it is actually Aronia x prunifolia Brilliant.

 I have just looked up this plant on Google--Yes--my guess of a type of Crab Apple was near enough. Thank you for confirming it.  I bought this plant at the GC last year, (Lost the Label) and am still trying to identify it--  Above is a Close-up of the Leaf-- It looks alot lighter in colour on the second photograph because it is new growth on the plant- The first photograph is more the colour of the leaf when mature. I would be pleased if you or any other members could try and identify it for me. |
