Philadelphus

For stunning citrus fragrance in the garden, you can’t go wrong with the mock orange shrub (Philadelphus virginalis). This late spring-blooming deciduous bush looks great when placed in the border, used in groups as screening, or simply as a stand alone specimen plant. They even make excellent cut flowers indoors.
Though it’s not a true orange, its name supposedly derives from the fragrant white flowers which in some varieties are thought to resemble that of orange blossoms. While the blooming of this lovely shrub is short (only about a week or two), you can still enjoy the dark green foliage of mock orange plants.

The mock orange flowers are finally open in the backyard.
So many to choose from, but I wanted to focus on just one.

The yellow flowers aren't deceiving but the leaves and berries fool many into thinking the plant is a true strawberry. .Spreading by runners the plant also makes a good ground cover
Everything looks better on blue. Which it isn't this afternoon.
Maybe view large, and thank you for your favourites. :)
Built in the mid Nineteenth century to shelter the land owner's (Earl of Eldon) guests that came to visit the site not long after it was unearthed.

This young Mockingbird comes at Hilda or I when we go in our front yard. It will come so close you can feel the wind off it's wings. It can be in a tree in a neighbors yard and here it will come. We have Mockingbirds all the time and have never had one do this. I wish I had a camera with me a few days ago. It got after a squirrel and that squirrel took off.
Have a great weekend.
