I have recently moved into my new house which has a  big garden so I'm in the process of discovering what's growing. I noticed this plant and cannot seem to identify it. It's a shrub with a  four pointed petal flower. The flower is scented (similar to honeysuckle). Flowers are small, about 3 cm tip to tip.

    It looks like a philadelphus so I had a quick probe around Google and think it must be Philadelphus Birchlands. https://www.flickr.com/photos/24780799@N07/8432699105

    It is a lovely flower, not much information on the web though about this particular one.

    Frustrating isn't it? Either you are the only one with this plant or it is known under another name.

    It is a Rodgersia and from the shape of its leaves I think it is probably Rodgersia aesculifolia (leaves shaped like the horse chestnut)
