It is a Viburnum, possibly V. fragrans or V. x bodnantense |

This one's Bodnant Viburnum. Viburnum x bodnantense, and it's usually seen as the cultivar "Pink Dawn"
Was this a garden plant or an "escape", KT? I'm not sure whether it's a fertile hybrid or not, but I've never seen one in the wild. |

no this was a planted one. I only photographed it because I thought it was a really early Cherry  | | |
