Here is a link that might be useful: except for the fact it has 5 petals.. and yours has 4.. its a completel duplicate ... who needs petal count.. lol ...

Philadelphus

what the FF????

thats what i said ...

ken

Yes but your comment about the five petals threw me, as my Philadelphus have four...
I like the 'what the FF'!

Thanks....the large size of the plant, lack of fragrance, and rather large flowers left me stumped.

It's certainly not P. coronarius or its hybrids.

Sorry Ken, no leaf photos...will have to wait until next year.

i have 5 different philadelphus ...

the first two.. came in the old fashion plastic sleeves.. 13 years ago ...

a bazillion flowers ... flowers not quite as large as these ... and just about no aroma ...

variegated ones.. tend to be low on scent also ... and frankly .. low on variegation ...

but the one i named at the link.. you could smell from 100 feet upwind ...

ken

if you want to verify the ID.. try the name that plant forum ...

ken

Definitely a Philadelphus, probably P. inodorus.
