Dasineura is an insect that causes flower-shaped galls like those pictured on these plants. The plant is probably a willow (Salix) and yes Salix can grow as a bush form.

It does look a lot like Dasineura rosaria-is that a plant that grows as a bush?
C. Daehler
Yes, and in that case the plant is probably a willow (Salix).

It can be Dasineura (Rhabdophaga) rosaria Take a look at http://www.e-herbar.net/main.php?g2_itemId=1471

I think these "flowers" are actually galls created by an insect (a midge). They are sometimes called "bunch galls" or "rosette galls". Not many photos on the Internet yet.
