I have written about this shrub before, but it is so versatile, prolific and exuberant and has this heavenly evening vanilla-honey scent, that I want to show more pictures. Its common name is "Mexican Orange blossom" (Mexikanische Orangenblume). It really belongs in every garden. It is at its best now, all frost damage grown over and in full flower.

A shiny rare visitor on the flowers: Großer Rosen- oder Goldkäfer (Protaetia aeruginosa)
A second species is Choisya x arizonica "Aztec pearl". It has smaller spiky dark green leaves, stays more compact and flowers a little less profusely. It has the same heavenly scent, so I could not resist planting it as well. On the picture it sits in front of blue-bells.
Here in combination with Cotinus coggygria "Royal Purple" (Roter Perückenstrauch).
