    This woody shrub has been growing by our well for a few years.
    Only this year did I notice it has blooms, but few, and VERY fragrant.
    Absolutely delicious scent!

    I'm sure it will be identified quickly, but I have completely forgotten
    what this is.

    Northeastern Oklahoma, zone 7-ish.

    Many thanks!

    Maybe a type of Viburnum?

    It looks like a mock orange -- one of the double-flowered types.

    Esanita has the same idea as I do...Philadephus , mock orange...not sure which one as there are many cultivars and species.

    Love that…Learning something new everyday! Did not know that there was a double bloom Philadelphus. The leaves of this look strangely similar to a plant I was trying to ID that is coming up in the same area as a Philadelphus, single bloom….hmmm….

    Well, this is odd. I responded with hearty thanks, and then closed the thread.
    Now my post is missing. Hmm.

    Anyhow, I was saying thank you so much to all of you. While I would like to know
    the cultivar, it won't be too difficult with a fragrant double white that grows about
    ten feet tall.

    Knowing that it is a Mock Orange is a great start. Thanks a million!

    Glad to help Wuvie...there seems to be a lot of disappearing posts going on around here.

    If you look through the picture link, you may be able to match the bloom and at least narrow it down some.
