Oh it's sooo nice to see trees in full leaf and flowering Susie as mine are all bare twigs at the moment. Are the blooms scented by any chance? Thanks for posting your photographs for us all to see.

Your tree is very pretty. As said, it is so nice to see blooms. Michigan too has snow, so no pretty flowers outside to look at right now. Thanks for posting.

A dream tree! Not too big, lovely flowers and scent. A real kinder-egg-tree, that one.

What a lovely thing,SusieQ! Who wouldn't like one of these. It has all the elements perfect for a garden. The flowers themselves somewhat resemble a clematis...but with fragrance. Supurb. Thanks very much for sharing the pics of this fine tree.

It's still small enough to qualify as fitting for my garden. Now, if somebody could do something with the climate...
