WW #56 "Name This Tree"

Hi, all! Can anyone tell me the name of this tree/bush? I have two of these in my front yard and I have no idea what they are called. I have been living here for almost 10 years and still don't know the name of these trees/bushes.

They bloom beautiful white "balls" this time of year. And they also have a great fragrance too. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    We have those too! Ours are pink, however. I had no idea what they were when we first moved here, so found out their name with some help from my mom, The Master Gardener.

    You have a white hydrangea plant. They're gorgeous aren't they? and pretty popular in wedding bouquets, too.

    My florist friend used to call them snowballs. Don't know if that the technical term or not. LOL

    I think they're snowball hydrangeas, check out pictures of them and see if that's what you think too :)
