    The first one is found abundantly in Vancouver gardens. It is a big shrub, growing into a spreading plant almost like a small tree. It has a beautiful scent. I think those who know it will recognize it immediately, so I'm just submitting one picture.

    The other (2 pictures) is a smallish tree which at present is covered in rather delightful white pompoms. Quite pretty.

    Thank you for identifications if you know them.

    Very, very nice! Thank you so much. Now I can read about them and learn.

    (South Wales: my mum left Cardiff about 1914. I've never been away from the Americas, yet I feel a connection.)
