please help identify flowering shrub

Joey Meister · 2nd June 2011, 01:35 AM

i bought this shrub last year in the fall, cause i liked the look of it and it fit the space requirements. the pot wasn't helpful it just gave info on "landscape shrub". so i was surprised this spring when it is now covered in flowers. so what do i have here? and can i keep pruning it back like i did this spring? it did not seem to affect the flowers by pruning it.

Is it a Weigela?
