Anyone know what this is please ?

Looks a bit like Philadelphus. Is it a tall shrub and is it fragrant?
I'm no expert but it looks like the one I had a few years ago.

I don't know what it is but it's lovely!

I agree with mcem, it looks like philadelphus. The scent is lovely, but I found mine was very prone to blackfly sad

I was thinking the same as mcem if it's fragrant that would be my guess from the photo. Is that photo from last year or is it out already?

If it’s out now, my guess is a Deutzia.

It’s Deutzia.

Could it be Amelanchier?

Deutzia! And the smell is heavenly!

It does look like a Deutzia
I just went out in the rain to check the label on my shrub which has just finished flowering but the label has dropped off.

It had a profusion of small white flowers and small greyish green leaves, but nowhere near the size of yours ginny.

Thank you all. It is flowering in MILs garden now. Will have another look to see if it is fragrant.
