I didn't know what kind of bush this was and I have several on my property so I looked for images on the web and I think this is it...
Spirea - Van Houtteis
White Flowers on Arching Branches
The
Spiraea Van Houtteis (bridalwreath), Spiraea vanhouttei, has a foliage
color of a dull bluish green. The flowers are white in April-May, borne
in many flowered 1-2" diameter umbels.
The lovely white flowers form on the branch tips, and they are produced before the fine textured leaves!
Van
Houtteis is an outstanding deciduous shrub that matures to 6'-8' with
a spread of 4'-6'.It grows rapidly and may be used as a screen, in
groupings, for borders, or as a foundation plant.
It can be pruned to any size or left to grow into a mounding shrub.
The branches arch to the ground and makes an open airy mounded habit that adds an architectural feature to the landscape.
The foliage turns a purple in cooler weather.
Van
Houtte Spirea is a durable and familiar shrub that is best grown in a
sunny location and any good garden soil and prefers well-drained soil.
