    People on a walk last week were curious about the ID of this shrub. Are these leaf buds?

    The branches and form look very Hydrangea-like ...

    Hydrangea buds can get some red color.

    Yes, looks like Hydrangea leaf buds to me, too.

    Thanks. I was pretty sure it was something I should recognize.
