For anyone who is wondering, the comments are half of a conversation questioning my ID.
Strange how flowers fade as they age...and as the leaves come out. But those spicebushes came straight from the nursery fridge with labels on them. And grew spicebush fruit. So I don't know what else they'd be.
Perhaps you should look at more white oaks:

These are shade leaves. The acorns are wrong for the swamp white oak.
