can you identify this shrub please

Hi ... this looks like a escallonia but the leaves are not shinny deep green ... it does have woody stems and tiny pink flowers which the bees swarm over late summer ... the bush in the pic was in my last house I have now moved from and was about 15 years old ... like I said it looks like a escallonia in every way except the leaves are different ..regards kev

 

I think the pic has loaded now ...my apologies this is my 1st post

 

Welcome To GC Kevin. This is Escallonia below....



I recognise your shrub but for the life of me can't think of it's name at the moment.

 

Spirea?

 

It's not a spirea ... looks like a escallonia but like I said the leaves are not shiny green .... it has tiny tiny little pink buds that flower in late summer .. it's very stringy woody type of bush./shrub

 

Welcome to the forums Kevin.

Looks like one of the shrubby Honeysuckles...Lonicera sp.

 

Someone else said a honeysuckle ... thought they were climbers ... please forgive my knowledge as I have just got into gardening ...

 

I have just checked some pictures and it is similar to a shrubby honeysuckle ...however the pink blooms are that small I could never tell what shape they were ... but at least we're getting there lol

 

A snowberry perhaps?

 

Snowberry ? Honeysuckle ?

 

Wow that snowberry looks like it ...but it does not have berries

 

It looks like Honeysuckle to me also.

 

Maybe a hunysuckle snowberry lol

 

Flowers would prove the point Kevin but we'll have to wait for those obviously. You say it has tiny pink flowers which makes me think it's not Honeysuckle.
