Sorry about the arrows. The image was too large with the graphics I added. Please look at the base of the stem to where the stem ends. The white things are all over it. Thanks.

Ah, a perfect name. Thanks!

I'll try to get a better close up since the one above is slightly blurry. I see there are many species of Spirea also (like Viburnum). It's more like a privacy hedge now, about ten foot long and three foot deep in front of a small brick patio.

not bird related ... a bulb either dropped when a bigger clump was moved.. or perhaps a squirrel moved it .. a very long lived bulb.. that will multiply ... in clumps.... not aggressive in moving itself around ... if say ... you planted the daffs ... you may have inadvertently moved the crocus ... they should be no more and 2 or 3 inches under the soil ... one of the very first flowers in my MI ... they make me very happy ... and btw ... flowers are very short lived depending on how warm it is.. when they bloom ... ken https://www.google.com/search?q=crocus+bulbs&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj2kaP_gqTSAhUG7CYKHVOkBNEQ_AUICSgC&biw=890&bih=739
