Yes, I had forgotten the other name. Funny what sticks in the memory vaults of a creaky brain.

btw..there is an azalea that can look like that flower, and it has the smell of a honeysuckle,,VERY sweet smell.
We had on at the edge of our property but it apparently died during a cold snap. I was blown away by the power of the fragrance.
