Deutzia! You Might Be an Old-Timey Garden Plant, but You are New to Me

I have been waiting on a name for a plant for a few weeks now, ever since the flower buds on a shrub caught my eye one morning.

I made it my habit to stop and visit this plant every chance I got, just to see how those sweet star-tipped buds were developing, all the while wondering what the flowers I was waiting on would look like.

Did all the waiting and watching pay off? I'd say so. Yesterday I discovered that my mystery shrub was a Deutzia. And I have a new spring crush!
