This Beautiful Bush

Can someone tell me what this is please?Mr.fiz brought it home from work last yr and i planted it at allotment.It seems to like full sun as its produced lots of these tiny white flowers this last week or so.It`s about 2-3ft high with soft small lime green leaves.

 

Looks like spiraea, Elaine. Will try to find you a link about it!

Here you go! Can't remember the cultivar, but it involves brides.....

Spiraea Thunbergii....Thankyou kindly dendrobium.You`ve made me very happy.

 

With the spines on it I would have said it was cratageus ( Mayflower ). David.

 

I would have said Hawthorn too!

 

Firethorn?

 

I think I'd go with Firethorn to - Hawthorn, produces its leaves before its flowers, this has produced its flowers first, with the leaves breaking

 

Revised my opinion, having turned the picture the right way up. Pyracantha is more likely.

 

Pyracantha, the flowers are in small bunches down the stems.


Hawthorn, tend to be in bigger bunches, what do you think?
