Question
I found this beautiful leaf "flower" growing on a bush along the sidewalk in April of 2018 on Long Island, NY. It was mostly barren and just beginning to bloom at the tips of its branches, which makes identifying this plant even trickier. I'm an amateur photographer and love to learn about the subjects I shoot, so any help would be very much appreciated!
Answer
Dear PastelPetals, good afternoon. You have photographed a woody plant that is emerging from bud. Those are the expanding leaves. But, to identify the plant, I would need more images (e.g., the winter buds, the bark, the habit). If you are able to post more images of different parts of this plant, I may be able to assist. Great photograph.
