    Any ideas on this one?

    It's a spreading shrub, presumably deciduous, that's in flower now (late summer in New Zealand). I feel it's something I should know but I can't quite place it. I'm tending towards something in the Caprifoliaceae area, as it's somewhat reminiscent of Diervilla, but really, that's just a feeling.

    Thanks

    Yes, Cephalanthus occidentalis certainly looks very likely. Thanks. So much for my Caprifoliaceae idea.
