Hi Tim
Glad to have been of use. Several people have mentioned the flowers, but
I can't remember having noticed them even though I have seen bushes in
many places including gardens I have tended. They are apparently white
and Metcalf says they are freely produced on mature plants. Personally
for me the charm of the bushes is in their very satisfying natural shape
and colour and I am not sure the flowers would add anything particuarly
enhancing to their appearence.
