    can you do a photo of the whole plant and the flowers and leaves just as they sit, with no hand to alter the natural shape of things?

    Could it possible it's a climber? There's a climber that looks similar, it's Jasminum Officinale 'Affine'. A wild guess.

    i did wonder about one of the jasmines, Borderline, but can't see enough to be sure.

    Nutcutlet, it looked like one of the Jasmines, but I agree with you that the pictures are just too close to see its growing habit. They mentioned a perennial so sometimes, these climbers look like perennials, especially when left too long in one place and not trained.

  • Looks reminiscent of a Leycesteria formosa's white and crimson flowers, although can be sure.

    Leycesteria is another strong contender

    we need more photos don't we.image
