A delight to see and and the scent was wonderful ! Photographed in a front garden as I gave Marnie a late afternoon walk around the block. So good to meet neighbours I didn't know existed, simply walking round the block 😃.

I think this is Philadelphus Lemoinei (you may disagree) !

Thanks for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. I really appreciate it very much.

Hello there,

The Mock Orange bushes are just beginning to bloom. If the weather is just right and they are in full bloom, these flowers emit a lovely perfume. And if you're wondering if they produce oranges, no, they are strictly ornamental shrubs.

Thanks a million for stopping by and for leaving me a comment. I do love hearing from you!

Have a marvelous day!

I took this photography last year but did publish it at the time because I had one of the same subject that I liked a little better. I decided to brush the dust off of this one because it has a different bokeh pattern from my first photograph that I published.

2nd chance, a late blooming runner gave me the opportunity to capture a decent pic this year, for some reason I only got a bud earlier in the season.
