During the winter I was curious about the persistent seed capsules on this meadow shrub. Now that the leaves are coming out, I can take a guess as to what it is.
It may be a Summersweet (also called Sweet Pepperbush), a Clethra spp. If it is, it will bloom with white spike-like upright clusters of flowers in July and August and attract many species of butterflies and birds. Yay!
