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) !

A lovely fellow, very jumpy! The female is similar only slightly duller.

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.
