Buddhleia?

[seadogg]

A neighbour has a multi stemmed plant with flowers made up of small units giving a fluffy appearance which reminds her of candyfloss (same colour of pink).
It is about 5 feet high and the butterflies love it. Only having the davidii with the usual spiky flowers we are not sure but think it is a type of buddhleia.
Any ideas what it might be called?

I saw that boxie but it scared me with the sheer number. Wondered if anyone had one of these. Muchos gracias.

Could it be a bottle brush plant (callistemon)?

Will check it out robinia. The flower heads are not elongated like a buddleia usually it so it may be the answer. Thanks.

Worth checking that out in the morning woofgang. Thanks and hope the dogs are doing well.

That spirea japonica "Anthony Waterer" is also well worth a check in the morning. The leaves look similar too, from what I can remember Good on yer Rocky!

Astilbe ?

The one which first sprang to my mind was, Spiraea billardii 'Triamphans.
