Question
This plant grows along School Street in Concord, NH. It was in bloom this past week. It resembles Philadelphus inodorus. However, most but not all flowers seem to have 5 petals. And P. inodorus is not supposed to occur in NH.
Answer
Dear DavidBlair, I'm not sure what species you have found. Planted shrubs could originate from many parts of the world--far outside my region of expertise. If you want to send me some more images of the leaves so that I can see the details of their margins, arrangement, etc., I may be able to track down an answer for you. Best wishes.
