Sorry Michael but I don't think you are right with Cornus florida. The leaves you show are toothed and matt whereas C. florida has shiny, untoothed leaves.
Mind you, I can't offer an alternative to Viburnum. I am confused.

It's not Cornus florida or any of the dogwoods which have much more shiny leaves and much bigger individual flowers not borne in clusters such as this Viburnum.
I have attached a photo of the Autumn colour on Cornus florida unfortunately I don't have any photo of the flowers.
I am not 100% certain which species it is however I would suggest it is Viburnum carlecephalum or perhaps Viburnum Eskimo.
Stunning flowers and Autumn Colour.

I am pretty sure it is a Cornus, and Cornus Kousa does ring a bell regarding this shrub.will post a pic when it flowers.

I went to have a look at ours today. The 4 bracts are already there with the small dome of flowers in the centre. I have also taken a pic of a leaf and added a trimmed version of your pic.
