I'm not sure but my best guess would be some sort of weigelia, and I doubt I spelled that right.

Thanks Frank, but this doesn't look like the Baby's Breath that I know. Thank you though. I appreciate you taking the time to reply.

Mine has tiny clusters of miniature white bells with dark centrers, the approx size being 2 pin heads to each bloom. The leaf is a tiny straight one not unlike a pine needle . A forward slash / is about the thickness, shape and similar size, although the peice I'ce cut off has smaller needle type leaves.

No, it's not Lavender. We have that planted as a mini hedge between the roses, across the front of the house and into the first part of our driveway.
Yes it is pretty Sandy, and that's why I'm so interested in finding out more about it. Before I can mail you a piece Shiney Sue, first we have to name it, then we need to find some-one in the Customs Dept who we can bribe, then we.........only joking Officer! ![]()

It kind of looks like maybe, possibly a type of lilac? Does it smell good?

It looks like Bridal Wreath Spirea from the photos.

No perfume Sandy, I'm afraid.
I looked up Bridal Wreath Spirea and although similar, the flowers are not quite the same. I daresay my little bush is of the same genus and I'll have to be content with that. Thank you FG others for your help.

I finally named the bush I was asking about.
![]() I saw it at a nursery yesterday and it's an Australian native called Diosma, or Pink Breath of Heaven. No wonder you had trouble trying to name it for me FG, being an Ozzie native. http://www.google.com.au/search?q=di...L_enAU291AU291 Thank you so much anyway. Your efforts were much appreciated. ![]()
