FW: [NatureNS] White Meadowsweet(Spiraea latifolia)Hi all,
I visited the St. Margaret's Bay Trail this morning in Lewis Lake PP and examined the subject plant. I was armed with numerous clues I received from some of you. The stems are reddish and the leaves are serrated and smooth underneath with no fuzziness. So, White Meadowsweet it is. Also, the height of most of the plants is about 1 to 1.2 metres. The occasional plant stands near to 2 metres when clustered, probably responding to a need for light.
Hans

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,
Your photo is not of White Meadow Sweet (or rather, just Meadow Sweet) - Spiraea latifolia, but instead it is of Steeple Bush - Spiraea tomentosa. The bush and flowers look almost identical, but latifolia is white and tomentosa is pink.
Regards,
K.
