Help identify these?

I took these pictures earlier this spring, neither the tree or bush have any flowers on them anymore, but I'm still hoping someone might be able to help identify them.

These flowers were on a small tree, about 6 feet tall?  Maybe a little taller.  It's now just leafy.

And these blooms were really fragrant.  Any thoughts?

Re: Help identify these?

  • Not sure about the first, maybe a dogwood? Might be a saucer magnolia or tulip tree.  Don't hold me to it.

    The second one looks like vibernum Korean Spice or Cayuga.

    Hopefully someone who knows more than me comes along and helps you out!

  • The first is a dogwood tree.

    I can't tell the shrub from just the flower; could you post a close up of the leaves?

  • Dogwood for sure. And I'm going to second viburnum, but less sure. 
  • Funny, I knew we had a dogwood (moved in last fall) but assumed it was a different tree.  Now I wish I had pictures of the flowers on the other tree, because I'll need to identify that one next Stick out tongue

    Googling korean spice viburnum, it definitely looks the same.  I'll try to take/post pictures of the leaves tomorrow.

    Thanks, ladies!

  • Korean Spice is a tree.  Cayuga is a smaller version, more like a shrub.

    The smell of both is fantastic.
