Hello out there,
Nice start into the day with fighting against snow at 7.00, then breakfast, then training with our local Icehockeyteam (www.barracudas-brokdorf.jimdo.com). Again fighting the snow until the postman came with the Christmas Trade from Marc St. Louis. Inside 6 wonderful primitive arrows. Thanks Marc! Is it dogwood?
Regards Uwe

Meadowsweet seems to have a pretty narrow range.  Go 100 miles north or 200 miles south and they seem to disappear, perhaps due to being eradicated for agricultural purposes.  Its botanical name is Spiraea Latifolia

I`ve never heard of it. Will try to Google for it in a few moments. If I don`t find about it, does it carry fruits? Seems to be a bush?

Probably so in regards to agricultural pressure.  I checked out the USDA site for distribution:  http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=SPALL  It occurs all over eastern NA.  When I checked distribution in my home state of Vermont, it was absent only from the county I grew up in, which is also the most intensively farmed county in the state (more cows than people)
