| While wandering around an elegant formal garden yesterday, I came upon a lovely, large flowering shrub whose name escapes me...after plodding through Dirr and perusing the internet.
The scent was honeysuckle/star jasmine and the little white/tinge of pink lily of the valley type flowers lined the underside of each leafy stem. The stems seemed to grow long and pendant from the center, like a huge bouquet. Just so delicate and lovely! Any ideas? It's the end of May here in central NC. |

| Hmmm, itea virginica? oxydendrum arboreum? some sort of weird weigela? Those'd be my best guesses -- any chance you got a picture of the thing? Jim |

| I should have taken a picture, but didn't think of it...duh! Don't think it's itea or weigela, but let me check the other one. Also, I may call the gardeners at this place and let you know if they tell me the name. Thanks, claire |

| maybe styrax (obassia or japonicus). |

| Some deutzias are fragrant, I think. Might be worth a Google. Or a new Dirr-ection. Sorry-couldn't resist. :) |
