I like this Rhodotypos scandens a lot. The sharp veining to the leaves, the lax habit and the flower are a close parallel of the Kerria. This flowers just a little later.
The four petals are a very striking feature. Occasionally it will self-seed.
Amelanchier Lamarckii or Juneberry
Beautiful white blossom now appearing alongside the bronze coloured juvenile leaves.
These turn green as summer progresses then orange and red in autumn. The flowers are followed by small berries in mid summer, which turn from green to red to blue/black if the birds don't get them first. There are not many other 'small garden' sized deciduous trees/shrubs that gives so much interest from spring through to autumn.
Looks like the purple chokeberries will have some blossoms this year. They were planted 4 years ago but moved from the original too hot/dry location last year.
I loved this scenic view in Capitol Reef National Park because of all the layers of flora and rock formations from a foreground of shrubs and grasses to distant background red rock cliffs. The scene shows the rugged beauty of the desert environment.

This is one of my favourite plants. There was once a time when it was so common in gardens that it was viewed with snobbery. Too easy to grow. Too bright.
It is Kerria. I hardly ever see it now. I grow it in what passes for a tiny woodland clearing.
When first planted, the crows reacted furiously to the flowers and did a wrecking job. I have no idea what was going on in their heads.

Fall colors from the scrublands outside of Yakima, Washington. The brightest colors were in a narrow band following a creek bed.
Silvery shrubs from the desert region of Washington State - Artemisia tridentata, aka Big Sagebrush.
Enough of the unseasonal plants! Here's one that's doing what it is supposed to when it's supposed to - Cotinus Royal Purple - only it's turning orange.
It's a big shrub not a small tree. I'm tempted to sneak back to the first toot and whistle casually while changing the hashtag from #Trees to #Shrubs before running off. But that would be misusing the spirit of Mastodon's Edit function. My ignorance shall stand. (I did throw in 'Perhaps it's a bush?' in the AltText but that may be even worse: I knew I might be wrong but didn't bother to check.)
