There is a plant in the edge of my woods that I'm sure no one planted there. It must be some wild shrub but I'm not sure what it is. I live in the NE corner of Mississippi. The size and leaves look very similar to a crape myrtle but today I noticed it has several clusters of small, white, bell-shaped flowers hanging from it. Anybody have an idea of what this might be? Thanks!
What is this plant with bells hanging from it?
The plant is "lilly of the valley" and its smell so nice.

It is native to Mississippi, and looks like little bells.
