Question
Hi Arthur, this shrub was growing trailside at Mackworth Island State Park, Maine. Opposite leaves with small teeth. Pink flowers with 5 petals. I find shrubs difficult and the large number of non-natives and invasives adds to the challenge. Thanks!
Answer
Dear Alanseamans, it appears that you have photographed a Weigela floribunda (crimson weigela) with light pink flowers. This species normally has dark red flowers, but different cultivars can have different colors. I assume this was planted at one point.
