Smokebush. Both botanical and common names are kind of awesome and it's an even more awesome plant. Still, C was a hard choice because there are many cool plant species with C names: Ceanothus, Cedrus, Cercis (any of them but occidentalis in particular), Choisya to name a few.
Cotinus coggygria is native to Austrailia but is used as an ornamental shrub in much of the United States. Very, very hardy, taking temperatures down to negative 40 degrees Fahrenheit and tolerant of abuse, acclimating to drought, heat and poor soil conditions. The smokebush has an attractive open and airy habit, reaching upwards to 20' and has wispy blooms providing for the name in late spring.
