I purchased my house from a landscape architect and most plants were marked with identification tags - There are two small trees marked Fleur d'Amour. I have uploaded pictures of one of the trees and its flowers.

Both trees are in containers - one is in partial shade and one is in full sun - both are doing well...

When blooming, I think they smell amazing - my wife thinks they smell a bit too sweet and "flowery" and is less of a fan.

Regional...
