Katkin,

I wonder if it could be the same bush that is more commonly known as Mock Orange (sometimes written Mockorange), also called English Dogwood? There are some varieties of Mockorange with "snowflake" in the name. Look up pictures of Philadelphus virginalis and see if they look like your plant. It is a densly twiggy shrub and the branches grow straight up. It spreads slowly by underground runners. Some varieties have scent and others do not. I just got one. =)

Carol, thanks for the link, but no it's not it. I looked up Jamaican snow ball as well but nothing by that name either.

Maybe post a picture, if you can, or to the Name that Plant forum. I'm sure someone will know!

Love, those were good ideas, but CarolWFL got it. CarolWFl, thank you so much. I hate to admit it but I still don't have a camera like that or know how to post pictures. I spend most of my time in the garden, so I am too tired to learn how to do those things. Hanging my head, but I don't even have a cel phone. And right now I am recouping from some serious surgery, so I don't have my energy back yet. Plus brain fog from the pain meds.

Cool! (Not your surgery, of course - hope you feel better soonest)

My 2nd favorite forum after this 1 is 'Name That Plant' BTW...

Yay! I'm so glad CarolB got it! Now you know what you have and if it ever shows any signs of trouble, how to research it. Hope you are fully recovered and feeling better soon. Gardening is so good for that, I think!

CarolB... I may have to jump over and check out that forum! You Tom Sawyer, you! ;)

Yes, having the botanical name is so important. Thanks to both of you.
