hmmm, could it be a variety of mock orange?

I know the variety of 'Snow white fantasy' looks like mini roses.

I googled "Philadelphis Snow White Fantasy" and I don't think that is it.
The blooms on my shrub and only about 1 cm wide.
I keep thinking it must be some kind of Flowering Almond but I can't seem to find a match.

I am so glad I checked this thread. My grandmother (God rest her soul) had tons of this in her sideyard. I grew up there and had the pleasure of those beautiful tiny flowers for many years but I never knew the name of it. Yay!!

Bridal Veil/Wreath. How nice.
