This blooms like double-flowered baby's breath in spring along a fence in mostly shade except in spring when the trees haven't filled out. I had/have quite the job uprooting it's extensive underground network when I decided I wanted a birdbath and other plants there two years ago. It still comes up in the bed. I don't know how long its been here--over ten years is my guess. It's so pretty I can't pull it all up. What is it?

If it's blooming now there is a double-flower Bridal Wreath Spirea/Spiraea prunifolia...but that may just be wishful thinking on my part. Always wanted one of those plants in my garden.

Wish granted, Greene! That's exactly it--double bridal wreath spirea prunifolia, like at this link:http://k.b5z.net/i/u/2179088/i/plantpics/Spirea_prunifolia_closeup.jpg.

Thank you!
