kolkwitzia, beauty bush

This is the shrub that wowed our group in Secrest Arboretum. You'll notice from the photo how nice and sunny it was when I was down there. I couldn't remember the common name....it's beauty bush. No wonder I forgot the name; I get irritated with those vague common names like beauty berry, beauty bush, etc. Let's call it kolkwitzia, it helps clear the rain out of our throats!
