Does anyone know this shrub?

17 years ago

I was trying to attach a picture but haven't figured out how yet. Anyway...I have this shrub in my yard which has grown from about 2 feet two months ago to about 6 feet now. The leaves are long and narrow, always 5 or 7 at a time. Now, it's shooting out some panicles of white flowers. I thought maybe Virginia Sweetspire but I'm not sure. Does anybody know?

Any help appreciated!! I can e-mail pictures; just don't know how to attach them here.

Thanks!

My guess would be Butterfly Bush but hard to know without a photo. Mine are just starting to bloom now and they have long narrow leaves.
