Weigela..................

The first of my two weigela shrubs is starting to open up this week.  It will be very showy when more of the blooms get opened.  My other weigela is white in color.  I researched the shrub and it came originally from China and Manchuria.  England was the first country to import the shrub and the one pictured above, weigela Florida, was the one that they first imported.  Wikipedia is a wonder place to find out all sorts of things.
