Lovely - dont know what it is though - big question is ..... did you get a bit, lol.

Wow look at you Dawn....nice pic...The plant reaches about 3 feet in height and its foliage is very much like an Astilbe......Sadly no perfume. Its not a Viburnum Drc I have one of those......but thanks....

Ha ha Maureen, nice to have you back btw. The only one I can think of that's similar and in flower at the moment is Joe-Pye Weed (Eupatorium purpureum) - check it out n google, maybe a variety of that.

Yes Dawn of course I did ha ha......Its lovely to be back by the way, I have missed everyone....So much to catch up on though.....I will check out on google thanks.....

tried it 6d and says no such address

I shall place the picture on my photos for you Maureen, it comes up for me, so must be you pc, which I got of this website of Devon Cornwall wild plants, not sure if its the same flower as yours,

18 Jul, 2010

 

Its frustrating me, this is. I've looked through aquatic marginals and I cant find it. It does remind me of the flower on the umbrella plant but of course that flowers in early Spring.

I tried it to Sixp but it comes up as did not match any documents.

18 Jul, 2010

 

Thank s Dawn and Drc I ve copied the photo off the net and uploaded for you all, its under For Milky.
