    It's a Spirea.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    I can never understand why people like those yellow leaved, pink flowered Spireas - could have gladly sent you one when I moved in here @Heartinthedirt . 
    It went to the great compost bin in the sky....  ;)

    There's a few of the pink flowered ones readily available - S. japonica Gold Mound is quite popular, so you should be able to find one quite easily  :)

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Strangely, pink and yellow is my least favourite combination but this one is so lovely! Whether it'll work in my garden of purple, pink and orange remains to be seen ☺️

    I loathe pink and yellow together, unless it's a strong, deep pink, and a creamy yellow. Quite different!

    You'll just have to try it and see  :)

    In a couple of weeks, that blossom will be dead and brown. Unless you're happy to snip them off, it will look awful. 
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    That gold and pink combo won't be to everyone's taste, but I think it looks stunning!
