I should wait for a botanist to chime in here, but I think it is indeed
meadowsweet, S. latifolia, which does have pinkish flowers among the mostly
white ones, whereas steeplebush is much more pink and the flower clusters
much more cylindrical, I think, too.  Cheers from Jim in Wolfville

Sorry Hans,=A0
=A0 =A0=A0 =A0=A0 =A0=A0 =A0=A0 =A0=A0 =A0=A0 =A0=A0 =A0Your photo is not of White Meadow Sweet (or rather,
just Meadow Sweet) - Spiraea latifolia,=A0but instead it is of Steeple Bush -
Spiraea tomentosa. The bush and flowers look almost identical, but latifoli=
a
is white and tomentosa is pink.
Regards,
K.
