    Looks like a hydrangea to me.

    Either an immature flower head or a smaller flowered variety of hydrangea, probably from a plant that's been forced under glass to produce flowers for cutting. That would account for the floppiness.
    Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained

    Emerging green flower of Viburnum opulus 'Sterile'? Only say this due to the foliage I can see and the fact it's flopped.

    It's viburnum opulus roseum - we florists use them in arrangements when they are green like this and then they mature into the white snowball people are more familiar with

    Hurrah @sjb_c  😊 was !  I thought we must have a florist in our midst somewhere ...  florist’s flowers often look quite different to garden varieties.
