I have been passing this bush every morning, it is at an old farm site that has had no house for 20 years. This morning I stopped and shot a couple quick shots. I didn't have tripod along and it was raining so I didn't spend long ( wish now I had) Not sure what it is. It is a bush about 5ft high and 8ft across it is covered with these little blooms about an inch or so big. I will post another shot to give a better idea what it looks like.

Neat shots w/water droplets and good lighting. I know squat about flowers, so I'm no help(as usual!) Look forward to someone with smarts to chime in.

It looks like some sort of Geranium, Kendall, but I can't be sure. Seems like it is way too early for them to be coming out and also, I've never seen them grow as a bush. Hopefully someone else can ID them!
Hi Kendall
Nice shots. I believe we have one of these in our yard. It may be a flowering quince. I took a quick shot (very quick) this morning of the flowers on ours. Here's a link to more information about the variety as well. http://www.hort.uconn.edu/plants/c/chaspe/chaspe1.html
