  • Question

    Hello. I've been struggling with this one for some time, now. The petals are shaped somewhat like the Weigela we have on the property at Joppa Flats Education Center, Newburyport, but the leaves and anthers and stamens seem more akin to Prunus persica. I couldn't find a woody plant with flowers like in the Guide. Photographed in Early May.

    Answer

    Dear chaffeemonell, I agree with you this appears to be a species of Prunus, but I can't tell you which one without additional images. I would need a side view so that I can view the sepals, and mature leaf images would be a must. I'm sorry I can't offer you more assistance.
