[APWG] Mystery Shrub

[Gary Schwetz]

Looks like a double-flowering version of the flowering almond, Prunus
glandulosa, an introduced ornamental that Michael Dirr describes as the
bargin basement shrub.

I'm trying to find out the identification of this shrub--there is a
large patch of this at the Glendening Preserve at Jug Bay, near to an
old homestead.

I have one in my own front yard and I call it bridal wreath, but it
doesn't look like the shrub of that name in my google image search.
Thanks for helping id it.
