Tree identification?

worked in a small garden today .... just general clearing weeding etc

there was a strong smeet smell coming from sowehere, and the only tree/plant that I could see that is in bloom is this small tree 2 houses away ....

took a few photos (the best I could)

can anyone identify this?

 

Catalpa fargesii f. duclouxii (Chinese Bean tree opposed to the Indian Bean tree)????

 

thanks for that ... not sure as I just googled and the flowers look a lot bigger on the bean tree than the tree on my photo ... I may be wrong as I viewd it from a distance

the tree I saw has smaller white and pink flowers and the leaves looked very similar in shape to a phillidelphius mock orange shrub (from far)

 

I think it's a Weigela.

 

Looks like Clerodendron trichotomum.

clerodendron trichotomum - Google Search

The flowers have a fabulous scent. After the flowers it will get beautiful blue berries... see pics.

 

I agree with the Clerodendron.

 

thank you! ... I am certain that is the one .... I have a friend who has a space for one of these

 

I thought Weigela at first, but it's a bit late for it to be in flower so I go with Silver Surfer. I wish our potted Clerodendron looked like that. It was fine at our old house but has been sulking since we moved. I wonder if it doesn't like being beside the seaside?

We're actually five minutes walk from the sea and the garden is quite temperate so I'm surprised it's reacted so badly. Admittedly, it didn't get watered for a while when we first arrived as it was in my friend's garden, along the track, but although I've pampered it since there's no sign of flowers.:( Anyone got any suggestions to perk it up?
