For those of you who enjoy hidden surprises, I stumbled across this shrub in my woods
blooming his little heart out on this beautiful cold autumn day (high mid-40's; I know some of you won't think that's so cold, but it's our coldest day of the season so far). This is disanthus cercidifolius. Flowers are about 1/2 inch across, so you have to look close to see them. Maybe not as flamboyant as some of his brethren, but a nice autumn surprise all the same.
