    Hi Everyone

    I'm just back from a trip home to Ireland and took a few flower pics in my Mum's garden. I was wondering what this one is? It was pretty small. I'm sorry if it's a real easy one, my basic knowledge of flowers/plants is pretty woeful to say the least!

    Thanks in advance for any info :)

    Looks like a Potentilla fruticosa cultivar.

    Recently reclassified as Dasiphora fruticosa (on genetic analysis it turned out not to be particularly closely related to the various herbaceous Potentilla species)
