Thanks to Rob, Falcor517 and H2O for your input.

It is clearly not forsythia and neither black or red current. I grew up with plenty of those in our
yard, so I know them, when I see them. Weigela is still an option, though the fact that W. likes "sun
to partial shade" and this one thrived in almost total shade as well as the bloom time of "late spring"
for W. speak against that. The shape of the leaves of W. is also quite similar to hydrangea, the
reason of my initial confusion.

I expect the blossoms to open up in a few days. That will tell us more.
