ninebark

Layered bark shrub

Ninebark is a North American shrub of the rose family, named for its distinctive bark that peels away in multiple papery layers.

The plant produces clusters of small white or pink flowers and is commonly used in landscaping for its hardiness and ornamental appeal: The ninebark along the fence turns bronze in autumn.
