The house my son moved into recently has a bush that has many white flowers. It is about 12 feet tall with many branches. The flowers are little bigger than one inch and has only four petals and many stamens. I've searched by Google without success. I have some pictures, but I don't know how to attach them. Please tell me what it is.

Given the time of year and the size of the shrub you describe, it is likely an older cultivar of Mock Orange. Flowers should be fragrant.
