Philadelphus Mock Orange shrubs vary in size and some leaf structure. However, these showy plants all have one thing in common — they all produce an abundance of eye-catching white or yellow petaled flowers with bright yellow stamens that possess a heady aroma.<\/p>\n
Carl Linnaeus, the Swedish botanist, physician, and zoologist, chose to call the plant genus \u2018Philadelphus\u2019, a word that loosely translates as \u2018extreme\u2019, because of the strong, intoxicating fragrance of the flowers of this deciduous shrub. One flower can easily fill an entire room with its sweet perfume. Many refer to the Philadelphus shrubs as \u2018Mock Oranges\u2019 because the flower\u2019s scent is similar to that of an orange tree in full bloom but more pronounced and a bit sweeter. The shrub\u2019s blossoms draw an abundance of butterflies and bees to the garden. In the morning and early evening hours, one shrub can fill the entire garden with its sweet, relaxing scent.<\/p>\n
