Today's Flower
No idea what this shrub is, but the flower has a beautiful fragrance. However there are moth "nests" all over it, and it is being eaten by them, so I need to get a blow torch out and torch the webs.

Lovely Gill. It looks like one I identified a few weeks ago at my Today's Flowers entry: http://anenglishgirlrambles.blogspot.com/2009/05/todays-flowers.html
No sure if this is the same as yours but mine was identified as a Double European Bird Cherry (Prunus Padus CV Plena)
Hi - those are not moth nests - they are caterpiller nests - and yes, cut the branches and burn them, or you will lose your leaves, and the tree will lose a year's growth.
Hi Gill, I have been so enjoying your move to the country. The first thing I thought of was a butterfly bush. My mil had one in her yard and it looks very similar. They can grow to quite a height. They are wonderful for attracting, of course, butterflies and small beautiful birds. Heather

It looks like mock orange to me!?
lovely flower tree!
Isn't the slightly bitter scent of this blosom tree amazing?
