    I saw this flowering shrub on a trip to Scotland and so far I've been unable to locate a name for it. Can anyone identify this shrub? The first pic is a close up, the second of the entire bush. Of the ones I saw in Scotland, most had yellow flowers but there were a few with peach-ish, orange flowers as in the second pic.

    One on the right looks like the 'Tangerine' cultivar.

    Dasiphora fruticosa, formerly Potentilla fruticosa. The reclassification is recent, you'll still see the old name in most books.
