Pacific ninebark (Physocarpus capitatus) is a medium-sized to large shrub with dome shaped clusters of white flowers.


Description:
Pacific ninebark (Physocarpus capitatus) is a medium-sized to large deciduous shrub with dome shaped clusters of white flowers with yellow centres and red stamens that bloom from late spring into summer. The flowers become clusters of bright red inflated fruits that are also quite ornamental through summer and fall. The leaves are maple- or grape-like and the reddish brown flaky bark becomes attractive as the shrub ages. The flowers are mostly pollinated by native bees but are also visited by butterflies. The seeds are appreciated by birds. Photo: Wikipedia.
