I spotted a shrub in Peterborough Central Park that i have not seen
before
,It has been in flower for a while and is very fragrant ( smells like
jasmin
my wife says) its not the common jasmin that we know .
Description

The Branches of the shrub and leaves are very much like Philadelphus,
leaves
are lanceolate.
The shrub stands at 6ft and looks old
The flowers are small cream bells.

Mine is lonicera fragrantissima and fits the description. There are
no leaves now though.
