Hello, I'm new to posting so please be patient with me! Please may I request some help identifying some of the plants in my garden.

I'll put them in separate posts to keep it simple and will reduce the photo sizes if they won't load quickly.

I'd like to move this one from the veg bed to a more suitable area. It is currently waist height and just beginning to show leaves. The photos are from April 17 and May 16 to show the flowers.

Looks like one of the flowering cherries

I think it's a double Philadelphus, like 'virginal'.

I think it's a Philadelphus

I believe the leaves are alternate...therefore Prunus sp.
Philadelphus leaves are opposite.
April would be very early for any Philadelphus.....especially in this very cold spring.

you're probably right SS but it's not in flower now, those are photos from previous years

Ooops...only 3rd April...right!
Still early for Philadelphus aren't they normally June/July?

MAYBE ......Prunus glandulosa alba plena a dwarf almond...chinese bush cherry.

Thanks for your help everyone, I like the sound of the Prunus glandulosa suggestion. I'll keep an eye on the autumn colour this year and will move/look after it accordingly.
