Arrowwood

I posted a photo of this same shrub back on December 11th, when the first flower had arrived, and in advance of the leaves.  This is the last flower on the shrub, sitting alongside the leaves that have replaced all the other flowers, and is much pinker than the first flower. I believe it is Arrowwood, and is part of the Viburnum family.

In other news, I spent much of the day with my long tree lopper, sawing off branches of overhanging trees. It extends to 6.3m, and when branches fall from this height they make quite a thump when they reach earth.  I now have a lot more sawing to do, but it will help fill another log store.
