Question
These two photos were taken 13 seconds apart in mid June, in Peterborough, NH. Is there a spiraea with this maple-like leaf? (clearer in second photo)
Answer
DavidBlair, your plant is likely a cultivar of Physocarpus opulifolius (ninebark), a member of the Rosaceae that is related to Spiraea (meadowsweet). While native at the western edge of New England, this plant is cultivated throughout the region.
