I'd be grateful for a name. It's full of beautiful, tiny flowers which the bees go crazy for.

Can you get a closeup photo of the leaves and flowers?

QueenBeee · 27/06/2019 08:28

The stems look a bit like cotoneaster but you don't usually get so many flowers. But the bees love it.

At this distance I'd go for pyracantha but we really need a close up of flowers and leaves. There are an awful lot of possibilities!

Thank you!
Here is a close up.

I don't know what it is but our street has lots of these, they have the most beautiful honey like fragrance if it's the same plant.

Could be cockspur thorn?

QueenBeee · 27/06/2019 19:38

Have a look at spirea on google. Some do look like your shrub.

That's fire thorn (pyracantha)

humblebumblebees · 27/06/2019 22:33

Pyracantha. It is evergreen and will be smothered in red or orange berries in the autumn. It has lots of very sharp thorns along its branches. It can grow quite high and be clipped to clothe a wall or fence.

Thank you all. I have googled images and I'm pretty sure it's pyracantha coccinea. The mass of flowering this year is lovely.
