The shrub pictured above looks like a species of Murraya, although not M. paniculata.
Sorry about the vague answer!

BTW, I was distracted and failed to mention Murraya is a member of the citrus family (Rutaceae), which would explain the heady fragrance.. 🙂

Deb July 28, 2010 at 9:13 am: Thanks, that makes sense, I thought the leaves look like citrus.

looks almost like an immature or small version of a Magnolia. Beautiful though.

I miss the smell of flowers after my potted bloom died mysteriously overnight. 😛

Looks like Orange Blossom to me. 🙂 YUM!

I call it orange jasmine, some know it as orange blossom as Shanna said. Aroidophile is right, it is a citrus family as described here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murraya_paniculata

I know nothing about gardening, I just happen to love this plant and it’s fragrance! People usually have this as a natural fence around the house.

Tanya July 29, 2010 at 7:10 pm: Exactly what I was going to say.
Looks like orange jasmin to me – we had it growing from the base of the stairs when we lived in Tumbulgum, and each year, we’d wind it up the stair rails, to make an almost hedge of heady almost headache inducing scent.

I would have to say that the middle photo (the close-up) is my favorite!! I’m sorry I am no botanist, but I am sure that it smells beautiful and refreshing! Thank you for sharing your photos, and Happy WW!
