    Hi Nick and Welcome to GC :)

    I'm no expert on shrubs, but the foliage and flowers look a lot like Privet. I could be wrong though - hopefully someone more knowledgeable will be along to identify this shrub.

    [​IMG] Nick... :scratch: Well it looks like it might be one of the Viburnums, but not too sure.. When was it in flower..?? Did it show signs of any berries forming after the flowers..??:scratch: We have Viburnum Eve Price which smells fantastic, but that is a winter one.. There are lots of different ones.. Have a look at this link http://www.bluebellnursery.com/catalogue/trees/V/Viburnum

    Hi Nick and welcome to GC.

    I think it is probably the Cestrum Nocturnum (Lady of the Night, Queen of the Night, Night-Scented Jessamine). It is very popular here.
