Re: Viburnum

I'll take a shot at it, Chris.  Is it fragrant?  If so, wonder if it
might be good old V. x carcephalum??  Mine is about that large and
blooms early - before the Azaleas come on.

here's another image; not as sharp, but the form is more like mine
which does tend to flower before it leafs out unlike the one in the
first link.

If it's not this, then send me the pix and I'll scan them and post
them if I don't know what it is right off.
