Identifying a flower?

Question

I have a picture of flowers but I can't find the name online. If someone knows where to find the species name and the common name, I would really appreciate it.

Answer 1

Do you think it could be Clethra (summersweet)? There are many species in the genus.

Not sure if this is it, but it's real close. Hard to tell because I can't really see the foliage...
