Plant identification

[llambingtime]

Can anyone help? This large shrub is growing in a very shady corner of our garden (we recently moved here). I think it had one pink flower in spring/early summer. I'm guessing it needs to be moved to a sunnier spot...does anyone recognise it?

Photo please

Ooo I love a plant identifying question. Pic?

Oh sorry it didn't work!

Here's a better one

Sorry I don't know this one. I thought at first it might be a mahonia or kerria japonica but I think that was just wishful thinking - the resemblance to either isn't strong enough. Shame you haven't got any pix of the flower OP.

I put it on my plant ID app and it says burning bush. Never heard of it though! Also been told these apps can be inaccurate .

I'm no wiser either. My plant app wrongly identified it as a couple of things (the leaves didn't match and none of them grew pink flowers)

You could do a Google picture search or put it in Pinterest and search for like images.

Thanks for trying. I thought maybe weigela?

My plant app says Weigela florida which can have pink flowers.

Do an image search with that name & see if it matches the flower you saw earlier.

Thanks. I've been looking at weigela and think that might be the one. It's just way the leaves are growing on the stems that looks wrong. I might have to wait until spring and hope there's another flower.

Xpost love how plant id apps can come up with different results. I have lots saved in the ‘my garden’ bit but really should go back and check with new photos now they’ve grown a bit.
