Default question about river birch/kousa dogwood

Hi group,

We ordered two trees from a local landscaping company who also
installed them for us. We didn't know of the variety of these two
trees. We showed them pictures that we took of the trees we liked.
We were naive thinking that since they are the expert they would know
to select the right trees. The first one was a river birch with lots
of peeling barks. The one we got had a tag which says "river birch
triple clumps" and does not have much peeling barks. We googled
"river birch triple clumps" but couldn't find anything about it. The
second one was a kousa dogwood with 2"+ flowers/bracts. The tree that
was delivered to us has very tiny flowers like 1/2"

Any info you can give us regarding river birch triple clumps and/or
kousa dogwood with very small flower bracts? Thanks so much for your
help.

Sincerely
A.
