Mock Orange 'Natchez"



April 20, 2009.
Spurred by a mock orange and its sweet white flowers in one of the houses along Azalea Trail in Tyler, TX, this spring, I thought I'd try that if I could find one in a nearby nursery. Bruce Miller happened to carry them, so here it is in our yard.

It's under Hydrangeaceae family, its latin name is Philadelphus, Natchez cultivar.

I can smell the sweet jasmine kind of fragrance 2 feet away from the shrub.
