What's this?
Any idea what this plant is? The blooms follow the sun and last one day only. Woody bush, deciduous and about 2m x 2m. Someone suggested a philadelphus, but not sure that is right!. Thanks. Sylvia

Without a picture this is a guess, but Philadelphus always have a very strong and heady perfume. Blooms last much longer than 1 day, weeks more likely. Your plant may be a Cistus, which lasts 1 day per bloom.
