Hi, I've just moved into a new place and am trying to ID some of the plantings in the yard. Can anyone ID this shrub? The leaves are pretty small - the largest probably 1.5-2 inches, but plenty are smaller. That may just be because it is early, I don't know how much they'll grow. I am told that it will be very pretty, I assume that means the flowers, but so far I only have buds (which are visible in the pictures). It is not caning like a forsythia or old spirea, but there are several main trunks coming up from the base. The leaves are smooth edged. Not sure what else to say that will help.

If anyone can recommend a user-friendly online ID guide for this sort of thing, I'd love to do more effective homework before asking here. I have at least a dozen more plants that I don't know, and don't know how to care for.

Thanks,

Mike
