A little research has established this is grandiflora, a hybrid species of flowering plant in the honeysuckle family Caprifoliaceae.
Made up of #Linnaea (aka #abelia cross with #grandiflora.
Lovely soft colours. And leaves that are plump and healthy.
These flowers were super fragrant. As in noticeable from a couple of feet away. These flowers look as if they’re produced in clusters, mainly white, tinged pink, bell-shaped, to 2 cm long.
Unlike most flowering shrubs in this suburban (cultivated / managed) setting, the species blooms from late summer to well into the autumn.
This ‘find’ was pleasing, even in the rain!

Altext: Lovely soft colours, that these small flowers display. And leaves that are green, plump and healthy. The bush itself is about 2 metres wide by 1.8 metres tall, had been well trimmed and shaped last year I suspect, growing behind a white picket fence. Recent rain shows the leaves and flowers have droplets of water. These flowers were super fragrant… very noticeable from a couple of feet away. These flowers look as if they’re produced in clusters, mainly white, tinged pink, bell-shaped, to 2 cm long. They look to me like miniature lilies as they have gorgeous white filaments and anthers.
