came out of work last night and there was a delicious smell in the air. tracked it down to a shrub in the car park. It had little white flowers all over it and smelled something like juicy fruit bubble gum but much nicer.
any ideas>?

VeniVidiVickiQV · 15/06/2008 22:33

What are the leaves like on the plant? Colour, shape and size?

VeniVidiVickiQV · 15/06/2008 22:33

Mock orange was my first thought too. Got one in my front garden and it's smelling gorgeous.

Jasmine? A bit early for most Jasmine to flower but possible?

NigellaTheUndomesticGoddess · 15/06/2008 22:36

similar VVV - very small - much more than a clematis Heifer.
