Which website can identify a pink star shaped flower with blue ball in middle if I send a digital photo?

I'm looking for the name of a tree-like shrub that mkes small, 5 point star shaped, waxy dark pink-fuchsia colored flowers with purpish blue ball in the center. These flowers are about 1 inch diameter, surrounding what I think is this tiny purplish blue round fruit. The shrub-tree is deciduous, it has large,(about the size of an adult hand) smooth oval leaves, growing in clusters of two at a time from the stem . Before the pink flowers, the bush makes fragrant white flowers that smell lemony. The leaves themselves don't have a good fragrace.

Reply:Hi!





It sounds a little like the flowering currant, except for the leaves... (it has the vivid pink, 5 petaled flowers, blue fruit and white flowers...)


Try this link:

If that's not it, do a Dogpile.com meta-search on it. The identifiers are the "pink 5 petals", deciduous, berry-bearing shrub, etc.





It sounds amazing! If you identify it, will you PLEASE let me know what it is? I might want to plant it too!!!





Thanks :)
