Not a Maple

 This is the magnificent maple leaf viburnum - a spectacular shrub that has come up spontaneously in my yard. Its leaves look very maple-like, hence its name Viburnum acerifolium



It sports a spectacular head of florets, and attracts many insects. Its fruits are also a draw for many birds.


It is shade tolerant, low maintenance, and has no serious insect or disease issues. A winner!
