'Lustrous, leathery foliage is rich, dark green above and cinnamon brown underneath. Large, 5 to 6 inch creamy white flowers are exotically fragrant.'

Was only out long enough for a few minutes, to get sunset pics; first thought might be honeysuckle but then thought no, that's not it.

Here's someones' description: Magnolia fragrances are often described as fresh, floral and slightly sweet, with notes of bergamot, jasmine and rose, ideal for summer.
