Question
Hello there, This shrub is an antique. It's been around for at least 50 years. Is it possible to identify it? Thank you so much! SueLB
Answer
Dear SueLB, you have photographed a species of Philadelphus (mock-orange), a member of the hydrangea family. I can't tell for certain which species you have because I can't see certain features I need to (such as the hypanthium and outside surface of the sepals). You may have Philadelphus pubescens (hoary mock-orange), if the leaves are typical expressions.
