Thanks Stewart. I didn't think I could post any pics - when I
registered there was a set of rules including one which seemed to say
'if you post photos they will be removed immediately'.
Anyway, for what they're worth, I've posted them now. I don't think
it's a double flower, not like a camellia, and the petals aren't waxy at
all. The flower 'buds' started off a very pale green, then turned white
and looked just like single pearls before opening, directly on the stem,
no stalk as such.
It's evergreen.


Might be my eyesight but it looks vaguely like a chaenemole, (japanese
Quince) from the leaves etc. and the flowers. Good shrub against wall
grows to about 6 or 7 foot high but does tend to sucker.
