    This is a large white flower with a strong smell and look similiar to honeysuckle.

    I live in the mid atlantic region of the US, Virginia specifically

    do you have a pic of the plant?? just the flower isn't quite enough (many look similar and the leaves and growth habit along with the flower are needed to make an id).
