Can you tell us where this plant is growing? Is it in your zone or did you see it somewhere else? Also are those yellowish blobs fruit or flowers? And if they are flowers are they a pompom sort of affair? Does it have thorns?

It is in my zone, 7B. Leaves are alternate. The yellow blobs are flowers and they are about as big as a bb. They have not yet opened. It does not have thorns.

"...as big as a bb."

Can you explain what a bb is?

BB's are little metal pellets that are fired from a BB gun.

Thanks Esh_ga. I am not familiar with those. You learn something everyday!

Have the flowers opened yet? Another photo, a bit closer, might help.

Good grief - for a moment there I was trying to think of a shrub with flowers the size of a Bowling Ball.
