The shrubby cinquefoil is a shrub that features flowers much like those of their relative, the strawberries. The blooms can be white, yellow, orange or pink. This shrub is Potentilla fruticosa and is a member of the Rosaceae (Rose) family. There are thousands of familiar species in this family including roses, the Prunus fruits, strawberries, raspberries, cotoneasters and hawthorns. Currently blooming at the entrance to my condo. This is the white variety - my parents had the yellow when I was growing up.

Lovely little blooms. I really like the way You've got the ones front and center with the ones out of focus providing an outstanding background for this photo Kathy. Good work.

Lots of Latin and Italian in your description of these pretty blossoms, Kathy. I think you'd do quite well living in Italy :-)

---There are thousands of familiar species in this family---

The number discourages me to know all their names by heart Kathy, lol.

Thanks for this very Cinquefoil image my friend.

Most intricate interiors, gentle yet with plenty strange shapes & lots of colour tones.
Sweet blossoms, Kathy dear.

I can see there are going to be many more blooms in a couple of days..or even earlier. Beautiful capture, Kathy. The lighting is awesome.
