    Need identification and instructions on how to prune. I have a small tree/shrub currently in bloom (June 7, 2010) - white fragrant flowers in chain-like garland. fragrance reminds me of a water lily or mayflower. attached two pictures. I'm in Massachusetts, Zone 6.

    Philadelphus, at a guess. Remove flowered branches down to a new shoot after flowering, if you really need to keep it into a small area. Otherwise, let it rip, it's fabulous.
