Most Weigela bloom on last year's growth, so, if it is Weigela, and you've been cutting it back every winter, you may be cutting off this (and each) year's flowers.

>>Basically, sanitary reasons historically when no electricity availableAnd since we do have electricity available, there is no reason for a separate bidet? Is that what you're saying? Looks like you have to have your pants and undies completely off for a free standing bidet and that seems like a lot of extra trouble. Looks like the amt of water that sprays from geyser would take a washcloth or handtowel for drying. The Washlet has two rear washes with multiple speeds and one front with the same multiple speeds. All can oscillate and or pulse. Water temp varys from cold tap to about 102 or more (maybe). Has an air deoderizer and dryer. Let's not forget about the heated seat :) I don't know, maybe there is something more desireable about the stand alone bidet but I haven't figured it out :) And if I ever move (doubtful) the original seat is going on the Toto and my Washlet is coming with me! :) Monica

See if Carya pallida works. C. cordiformis and C. laciniosa also have leaves that are somewhat elongated. All three should be in your area.

Looks like a Kousa Dogwood, Cornus kousa, which is a small tree.
