Hi Gardengirl :D

Is it Sarcococca humilis? Small, white flower with slightly pink anthers. Long, narrow, dark green, shiny leaves.
Check on images and see what you think.

No, it is not that one. Though it has similar leaves. The flowers is more tubular and has many smaller flowers on it..ugh so much easier if I could add pics...

If you are having problems adding pictures, try hosting them at photobucket and then just pasting the link in your post. Hopefully that will work! :)

Ok. What about Osmanthus? There are several different types. Have a look. I don't know how to post pics either. Haven't tried yet.

Hi Garden Girl.

A hint about inserting photos. In Photobucket they give you three links to choose from - choose the bottom IMG code by left clicking it once (a little copied note will flash to signify it's been copied)and past and your images in a post. They will appear as below.
