Spring blooms...all white?

As some of you know, I decided my back yard was going to have autumn color if I had to pull trees from the midwest and bring them back to me. The past couple of years I have planted several bushes JUST for their fall color, and didn't pay too much attention to the spring bloom.

All white. All of them. Serviceberry, Korean Spice Viburnum, Chokeberry, Fothergilla. Coppertina Ninebark. How utterly boring. At least each white bloom looks different!! The only difference in color is my forsythia in the spring.

Ugh, ugh and ugh again. I truly hope the fall color will make up for all that white in the spring!!! Thank goodness I have mixed spring blooming perennials between all of that white!
