Thank you, Toad. It does resemble Honeysuckle but it is neither
Lonicera fragrantissima or L. maackii whose blooms are irregular and
leaves in opposition while mine has radially symmetrical blooms and
alternating leaves (plus the silver underside) and I couldn't find a
close match with others. As you said maybe a hybrid, I will continue
the search.

the plant in question is some species of Lonicera(honeysuckle). I have seen
them growing everywhere in the northern lower penninsula where they have
basically taken over. Im not sure if it is Lonicera fragratissima or L. mackii
or some wierd hybrid. Anyway they sure smell nice, you can drive down the road
and the air is thick with thier fragrance.
