Viburnum Opalus

Flower clusters turned from pristine white over the summer to dusty pink just in time for Autumn.

That looks great! I am pretty certain it is Hydrangea paniculata though, sometimes Hydrangea paniculata and Hydrangea arborescens are also called snowball bush. At first glance, I thought maybe it was Viburnum too but Viburnum opulus has a different shape to the leaves and smaller, rounder flowers. Either way it is a nice one, I like the way the flowers change colors and last most of the season.

So you mean, for 30 years I've be calling this a Viburnum, when it's actually a Hydrangea? This bush has an umbrella shape. I thought Hydrangeas grew more like a fountain.
