Here is a repost of a popular and interesting article. The answer is in comments. Thanks, readers!!
I need your help this morning. This year each of these bushes in front of our kitchen window has profuse blooms after Pam pruned and fertilized them early spring. I am coming up blank with identifying them.
The two bushes are over six feet tall and lose leaves each autumn (deciduous).
Here are some photographs. Can any readers identify these bushes? The common name or scientific will be much appreciated.
Thanks so much.



It seems like a sheep laurel but not so sure ๐

I also see that in the flowers, but I forgot to mention it is a deciduous shrub, not an evergreen like Sheep Laurel. Thanks for the response!!

I tried doing a google reverse image search. Could this be ALYSSUM (Royal Carpet)?

Beautiful. The leaf looks like a hydrangea, but the flowers are familiar to me. A mystery!

I can not offer any help. For a quick glance the flowers almost look like a hoya but this is definitely not a hoya.

It’s not some form of a lantana is it?

Lantanas don’t get that tall and the flowers are much smaller.
I need to bug an Australian guy who is a flower guru…

You came just under the wire. I looked it up myself, with a similar result, yesterday evening and published it after your comment. I found your comment in the “spam” bin just now, fished it out and accepted your suggestion. Thanks so much!!
