So I was clambering through the brush at UBC Botanical Garden and I came across Melliodendron xylocarpum. Wow! The blooms were quite large - Styrax like and blushed in pink. If you like Styrax then you'd love this one. A small tree, the blooms appear along the branches like Styrax but are about 3 times the size +. I just had to mention here as it was a real standout for my little visit. Not sure where you'd buy one from but looks to be well worth the effort.
