Solved ID help please!

Hi everyone

Any ideas what this shrub might be? It was planted here by the previous owners. It’s about chest height, has a thick woody stem, and delicate little flowers.

Thanks!

 

Philadelphus ?? i could be wrong

 

I wondered that at first, but it doesn’t really have much of a scent to it??

 

Exochorda.

The most common one is Exochorda macrantha "The Bride"

exochorda macrantha the bride - Google Search

 

Thank you!!

 

Hello @pigeon to GC and adding this discussion on such a beautiful plant

I have to go with @Jiffy on this Philadelphus (Mock Orange)

Philadelphus Care Guide: How to grow Mock Orange | DIY Garden

 

I initially thought is was Mock Orange (from the flowers), but the leaves didn't look right, so I didn't post that.

 

I think its too early for Philadelphus

 

I think @Silver surfer is correct with Exochorda macrantha - it has those ‘strings’ of little round white buds, and the leaves seem to match as well.

Thanks so much everyone! Ive been trying to ID this one for ages

 

Sorry Gail but Philadelphus do not normally flower until June.
Exochorda flower in April.

Philadelphus flowers have 4 petals
Exochorda have 5
I am 100% sure it is Exochorda.

 

This is one lesson you've taught me the amount of petals and double checking on when they flower ....mind you i'm saying that about when they flower but how this winter as been plus rain half my plants are flowering way to early already

 

When was this picture taken, @pigeon ?

 

Those pictures were taken yesterday morning!

 

I'm just very bad at Id's
