The view from our kitchen side window: the mock orange is in full bloom.When I was a little girl my mum planted a mock orange bush in our then garden. She said, 'You can carry that when you get married.'
She died before I was married - three years before I even met Husband - but I had some of the blossom incorporated into my bouquet.

That was very beautiful of you to carry that bouquet ...
It looks lovely and that is a lovely story.
That's very touching about the sprig in your bouquet.
And I plant Moss Roses, or "Portulaca", every year somewhere in my garden as a remembrance to my beloved Aunt Gin, who gave me the "gift" of gardening.
Great that you did that. Isn't it wonderful to look out your window and have that lovely memory.
Ah - that's my favourite! Philadelphus, isn't it?
Yes, it is a lovely memory. And it is Philadelphus with a beautiful scent.
It's so pretty, and what a lovely story.
