Hi Don
Have you got the resolution of your camera set lower than 5.2 mega pixels ? If you can get something on the fuller resolution then we can zoom right in and get a closer look at the leaves.

Looking at the leaves they sort of look Ficus like, but the white flowers seem to suggest otherwise ?

The leaf shape, colour and the way it is curling look very much like Buxus sempervirens(box)

Yes. I was trying to decide between holly and box. So perhaps it is a box. Certainly not Carmona.
