Question
Arthur, I'm hoping you can confirm my ID of Amelanchier nantucketensis. Location not provided, but I can send it to you in a separate email. Photo shows flowers with a ruler, longest petal about 3/16" or 5mm.
Answer
Dear stephradner, Your plant does look like Amelanchier nantucketensis. The small petals are usually accompanied by pollen production along the edges of some petals (andropetaly)--you will see yellow pollen grains if you look closely. Fee free to email me at ahaines[at]nativeplanttrust.org to discuss further.
