Photo of Ninebark

This is a photo of Pacific ninebark - leaves a bit like maple leaves, flowers like spirea flowers.  
Physocarpus capitata.  It's in the Rose family, which makes sense, looking at the individual flowers within the corymb (group of small flowers).  It's known as ninebark because the bark peels in pretty layers.
