Solved Can anyone identify this Philadelphus?

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know which variety of Philadelphus this is? I've scoured the web but I can't find a variety with single flowers and five petals, like this one. It was a cutting from a neighbour's plant, both long gone.

Any help gratefully received, thanks!

 

Are you sure it's a Philadelphus ?
The only ones I know have bowl shaped flowers not star shaped.

 

Welcome to GC Pye

I'm no expert but I have one of these and I think it's called Blizzard as it has the 5 petals

I'm sure more of the experts will be along soon to confirm which one it is

 

Welcome to the forums Pye.

Reason you cannot find it is cos it is not Philadelphus!

Most single Philadelphus have 4 petals.
Check out Deutzia sp...most single flowers have 5 petals.

That explains mine then

 

Apple Blossom...Try Exochorda Snow Day Blizzard!

I've just taken a look and that is Deffo what I have, it's a tad smaller at the moment but great to know what it is

 

Brilliant, thanks all. Now I need to read up on Deutzia!

Thanks for the warm welcome too.
