| This shrub (tree?) grows on our property line and is covered with small blooms each year at this time. They smell so softly sweet at their peak. I have no idea what it is. The woman who most likely planted it had died before I moved here so asking her is an impossibility.
Can anyone help?

| Is this maybe a jasmine ? It looks similar to orange jasmine or lakeview jasmine to me. Someone smarter than me will know ! |
|
| A Pittosporum of some type is my guess. Here's a link to a pic.... |

| Nelson, thank you for the i.d. and the link. Now I have a name for it! Not knowing was bugging me :) Thanks again, |

| I love the aroma of Pittosporum! It's one of the many heavenly fragrances that catch us by surprise this time of year. If I lived in a warmer zone, I'd plant Pittosporum tobira in one of my perennial beds, and prune it to a tree-form. |
