Does anyone recognice this flower/bush/tree/shrub?
The sample in the enclosed photo was taken from a large spreading bush/shrub approx 20 foot high and about 12 foot across.
It was recently covered with masses of small white flowers that have a mildly honey-sweet sort of perfume which are very attractive to bees.
This was on the southern part of Britain.
I would be grateful for any suggestions as I wish to purchase one to plant in my garden.
Many thanks

I think it may be olive
Ok, more info. It’s not a viburnum at all… it’s a Cotoneaster. Apparently there are over 70 species and they’re not all ground covers, some reaching even 40 ft in height. Btw, for years I mispronounces the name, and as many do, I pronounced it Cotton-easter. It’s actually pronounced “cuh-TONE-ee-aster.
Thanks Pinkpearl. I only took it quickly this morning on my desk on a plain sheet of paper.
I think you are right with the Viburnum.
Checked out different types and I’m pretty sure it is the strapped leaf one (Viburnum Rhytidophyllum) that has a much weaker perfume than some of the other deciduous types.
I plan to pick one up over the next couple of days.

I’d suggest its a type of viburnum… I can ask around to find out which one. Btw thats a nice photo of it. Reminds me of one of those oldfashioned botanical prints.
Just checked on the web.
No, not gardenia. The flowers are much to small for gardenia and are sort of bunched together a bit like cherry blossom. (although its definately not cherry)

Not jasmine, I know that one quite well. Could be gardenia.
I will check it out on the web.
Thanks
That kind of looks like Jasmine.
Or MAYBE Gardenia. (gardenia smells great)
