Solved Wondering what this bush/tree is with white flowers ...

My friend has this bush/tree covered with white flowers - does anyone know what it is?
Many thanks

 

The flowers look like Romneya coulteri but the foliage isn't right

 

Mrs Google seems to think it's Carpenteria Californica...looks lovely
Carpenteria californica (Bush Anemone)

 

Rats, rats, rats! That's the one I was trying to think of Tried and failed to grow Romneya and Carpenteria

 

Ah, many thanks! My friend though it had something to do with California. I will tell him, he'll be very pleased.

 

Yes, Mrs Google is right, it is Carpenteria californica, mine is flowering right now. They are slightly tender bushes although I don't wrap it in fleece during the winter any more.

On our NGS Open Days, it was the most talked about plant we'd got and you don't see it very often.

 

It's lovely...how does it cope with wet conditions @lizzie27 ?
