Viburnum opulus
European cranberrybush viburnum

Borne in mid May, the flat-topped cymes of white flowers form a beautiful pinwheel effect due to the outer ring of bright white sterile flowers surrounding the fertile inner creamy white flowers. The showy cymes range from 2-3" in diameter. Both large fertile and small sterile flowers are 5-petaled.
