Try Leucothoe axillaris, because that's what it is. *Stachyurus is a
genus of deciduous shrubs/small trees, which discounts it in the first
place. *Give the plant another few weeks for the flowers to develop
fully because the photograph portrays one that has a little way to go
yet. *As the inflorescence develops, the basal bracts dehisce and are
not normally present by the time the flowers have reached maturity.

Thanks.

I would have said Leucothoe fontanesiana , it seems a dead ringer for
the 3 I have growing here.
