A lovely Ozark witch hazel

 Our Ozark witch hazel, planted by the previous owner, is lovely right now.

The flowers are luminous towards sunset, as the light filters through the flowers.

I had thought originally that it was a Chinese witch hazel, but thanks to my blogging friend Janet (and now friend in person), have corrected that!
