Yes, it could be a hydrangea, one of the paniculatas. Or it could be weigelia... hard to say.

They can be fun to work with, wire the branches while they are still fairly soft.

Russell,, Thank you very much for your reply.. does it help that the center of the old part of the branches where i pruned it is soft puffy??? anyway i will wire some movement in the branches they are small...thanks take care john
