Sweet scented mock orange flowers, Philadelphus



I was amazed when my Australian based FB friend posted a photo of a "mock" lemon or orange. Seems the name is appropriate since they gave off the same scents but never bear fruits. Wikipedia showed that it belongs to the genus Philadelphus with 60 members.
