Hopefully I'm just here too soon to see the photo and it's coming?

Not yet!

lol i posted three. trying to get it to work! sorry guys

ok i think i got to work. but the two that are the same are the first two. probably apparent but i misstated in my original posting

i can see the pix

Corylopsis but not C. pauciflora - much too arborescent and wrong flower structure.

you guys are great, i googled a few varieties of corylopsis and i think based on what i saw in real life it is corylopsis spicata, maybe "golden spring"

The second one in particular looks more on the order of C. sinensis for instance. C. spicata produces a narrow inflorescence with long petaled flowers. Flowers which from what I have seen tend also to be unevenly spaced, producing a poorly filled appearance.

The fluffy aspect of the racemes these plants are producing suggests they are one of the other species.
