    Hi,
    Could you please help me identify this plant? I saw it last year at an entrance to one of those corporate building complex in Calgary and was impressed by the cluster of small white flowers and had a nice fragrance, too. I only had a chance to put my car keys to use as reference to the size, so apologies for that. I've seen this also in some street potted plants in Vancouver sea port on the way to Victoria island.

    I'd like to possibly have this in our garden if anyone could help me identify it.

    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Arthur

    Commonly known, at least around here, as sweet alyssum; It seems it used to be called Alyssum maritimum.

    Locally, (CA) it is a very reliable spring blooming perennial. Spreads slowly - easy to control or let it fill in a vacant spot.
