And the more conventional yellowy-white one out the back:
Unfortunately, the only flowers on the second tree haven’t quite opened yet and are high on the plant.
But they have their own unique charm for all that:

you’re so lucky…I’ve never had any success with growing one of these…and the scent is so beautiful! the pink is my favourite i think

Once again, alas, I had nothing to do with growing these: they were here when we arrived, and I have a strict no-interference policy, else they’d certainly die.
The pink one is a trooper, that’s for sure: each of the four cars that have driven through our front fence have also taken branches off that tree, but it keeps blooming. The yellowy one is far smaller and produces fewer flowers.

Four cars???? (sorry that’s an excess of question marks)…that seems extreme

Oh, yes. I don’t know which would be worse: four individual cars (bad enough) or the same car four times.
Actually, five cars would be worse.
We’re quivering wrecks in wet weather now.
