Have had this shrub three or four years rescued from somewhere. No idea what it is but pretty when it is in flower. Any ideas please?

    The flowers look like one of the eucryphias but I don't think it's cordifolia as they as serrated leaves and yours are smooth so looked it up and it could be  Eucryphia wilkiei

    @Pete.8 Many thanks for your prompt response. There's no doubt it is Myrtle. Good to know. 
    @Uff Many thanks for your suggestion. It is certainly very similar and I feel it has more pronounced flowers than the Myrtle. Worth thinking about but where I would plant it is another story!  :)
