Oceanspray has plumes of white flowers that cover the foliage reminiscent of the spray from an ocean wave.
Interesting facts about Oceanspray:
Insects feed and find shelter in this shrub attracting insect-eating birds such as chickadees and bushtits.
The Oceanspray foliage is important food for the larvae of swallowtail, brown elfin, admiral, and spring azure butterflies.
Thickets provide cover for nesting birds.
The long straight branches were historically used for arrows, cooking tongs, mat-making needles, and other tools.
Now I am thinking about taking a trip to the ocean :)
