It's a bush about 4 feet high that a neighbor must have just planted at the end of the street behind my house. I do not see any tag on it. Thank you.

Looks like Exochorda macrantha.

Thank you, Silversurfer.
The flowers look right. But the leaves are not rounded like the ones in your photo or those I saw online. Hmmmm. Could there be a different strain or variation?

E.macrantha is the most common in UK.
Yes there are others...most of which I have seen in Botanical gardens.
No idea how you tell one from the other.!
......including Exochorda racemosa. Exochorda serratifolia.
Exochorda korolkowi etc etc
This is Exochorda giraldi wilsonii













EXOCHORDA KOROLKOWI









Exochorda racemosa

Thank you, Silversurfer. You are a fount of information.
It appears that this plant is not common in this region of the US since I have never seen it before this one.

I'd say not common here either. I had never heard of it but found an Exochorda blooming this spring on the edge of library property, probably remnant of landscaping more than 50 years ago. (there also is a true Bridal Wreath spirea - much better known and used would be Van Houtte, but even that's become rare)

It is not very common in UK either.
I just happen to love it and used to grow it.

This is an interesting thread because I've only ever knowingly seen an Exochorda once, and it made enough of an impression on me that I still remember it decades later. It was in a garden/nursery in the southern UK in a spectacular hilly setting full of rhododendron species and many unusual plants. Trying to find out exactly where that was now has sent me Googling and I think it might have belonged to Michael Haworth-Booth near Haslemere, Surrey. I believe he died in 1986 - he was very well-known back then. I don't know if the garden still exists in any form.

Exochorda macrantha is a super naturally weeping large shrub.

I once saw a fab one, grown as a standard.
I had serious plant envy.
Sorry I didn't take any pics.
Here one would cost £102.00
Very tempted.

Sadly not one grown as a standard on a single trunk!
