This bush is growing in our backyard. It a bush of Philadelphus inodorus also called gelsomino della Madonna (roughly Holy Mary's yasmine). It has a wonderful smell that mixed with the mild spring breeze is absolutely perfect!
I have one of these in my backyard. It was mixed up with the plant I bought (two plants in one container) and I had planted it and noticed two different plants. SO I have to dig it up that fall and transplant them both. Over here we call these "mock orange" I guess because it is like an orange blossom. The flowers are beautiful when opened and much like those in your wild orange plant photo.
I am Patrizia, a 40 year old young girl. Happily married since almost 13 years. Joyfully mother of three wonderful children (9 ys, 7 ys and 3 ys old!).
Currently my pictures are shot with a Canon EOS 400D and with a Nikon Coolpix.

Ah, yes! My mother has one of these, and for no reason that makes any sense, it is commonly called "mock orange" here. It does smell wonderful.
