ID help for this plant

13 years ago

I'm trying to figure out what this bush is that is growing at my father's house. When it "blooms" it smells wonderful! I'll attach a picture, and if needed I can attach more. I'm hoping someone knows what this is. This picture shows it's "blooms" (little white). It looks like I took this picture around late February. thank you!

Thanks for the compliment, you just happened to put a couple I know. I love this shrub! I was at WM this winter, probably Feb, and smelled something so wonderful. When I realized it was coming from one tiny shrub, it went immediately in my cart. It bloomed for a couple months. It's in the ground now, can't wait until it feels like making more of those tiny fragrant flowers.
