this is a close up of the flowers on a shrub in my garden.I think it is a form of berberis and it is always a mass of berries in the winter

this is one of my favourite spring shrubs.A form of spirea( I think) it never fails to produce a mass of bloom.Trouble is I never know whether it should be pruned.

Lovely photies again Sheila, love the little spikey friend and that spirea looks gorgeous ours has just got a few white fronds but then I did prune ours back so perhaps that's the answer, yours is by far the better!!
