    Potentilla in the foreground, variegated cornus foliage to the right and then probably Viburnum opulus at the back.

    The yellow flowered shrub is a potentilla Canna, the white flowered looks like a viburnum opulus roseum but can't be sure without a closer view of the leaf.

      I agree with Julie:dbgrtmb: Viburnum opulus (aka snowball bush) so it flowers in the spring

      Hi Spruce, Julie and simbad - how kind of you all to respond!

      I should have said when this was taken - it isn't a spring plant. This pic was taken in my local park on 29 July 2011......

      Hmm!.
      It is very difficult to get a scale to this plant with white flowers. It looks shortish.
      Viburnum opulus tends to get rather large and would have finished flowering before 29th July.
      I wonder if it might be Hydrandea annabelle.

      Canna W is there any chance that you could go back and take more pics. Showing the leaves, dead flowers what ever you see.
      Thank SS
