It was time. Time to clear out the overgrown little plot of land I use to stash woody plants inside my vegetable garden (where hungry critters can't get to them in wintertime). I had lost track of what was what, and I'm sure that birds contributed a few unwanted tenants as well. So all those shrubs went into pots this weekend, to be identified and either placed in a more appropriate location or tossed out. I'd appreciate your help figuring out what they are :-)
Here goes the first one: nice reddish bark, and tiny yellow flowering structures. No leaves yet as of today.
