    This is a plant I saw at a restuarant in NC. It is very bushy and the bloom is white with very yellow center. Kind of reminds me of a dogwood bloom, althought I know it's not. Any ideas would be very helpful. Thanks

    Probably a mock-orange Philadelphus, but more detail would help, primarily a pic of a shoot showing the leaf arrangement and flower positioning.

    Do you recall any scent? Mock orange usually has a strong perfume which is one of the reasons they are grown.
