Question
I bought this shrub like Eleagnus umbellata, and now it has bloomed for the first time and the flowers don't look like eleagnus and I can't identify the plant. If you enlarge the picture, you can see that it has a kind of thorns near the leaves. Thank you very much!
Answer
Dear eugenia, good morning. I'm not certain who your plant is. It appears to be something in the rose family (which includes a large number of woody plants like apple, cherry, plum, hawthorn, pearlbrush, etc.). Go Botany is a website dedicated to wild plants of New England. Plants that are cultivated can originate from all over the world and may be outside my region of expertise. I'm sorry I can't be of help this time.
