Can anyone help me identify a particular flower ?

Hi all - I have a particular flower in mind that I would like to use in an arrangement but I don't know the name. I can picture it and have had it in arrangements that have been sent to me. Here goes ....

Very zingy green, often in displays and bouquets in springtime, multiple tiny flower heads make up the overall head. A bit like a Euphorbia but much more delicate. When it is in an arrangement it does have a tendency to drop quite easily, often used in contemporary arrangements, often paired with pink. Any ideas gratefully received ?

Could it be Alchemilla Mollis / Ladies' Mantle? www.rhs.org.uk/plants/774/alchemilla-mollis/details

I think I know the one you mean ... Sarah Raven uses it a lot.

Thank you everyone for your help. The flower head is similar to a hydrangea though much smaller and more delicate. It is more of a zingy spring green than the alchemila and more compact/round than the Bells of Ireland (which incidentally I have tried and failed to grow several times !). Yes Sarah Raven does use it a lot ! I will head to her website

Agree with Coffee do you mean a guelder rose?

Thank you, you green fingered geniuses ! I'm amazed you worked it out from my descriptions 😆. Cathy and Coffee you were both spot on with the Viburnum and it's this particular variant
