Well you live and learn.....
Now all that's left is to identify the plant

Looking at Phillips & Rix I'm as sure as is possible that it's Brugmansia
x
candida. "An evergreen shrub (a natural hybrid between B. aurea and B.
versicolor) with pendulous fragrant white, rarely yellow or pink
flowers......flowering in summer-autumn. Shrub to 5m. Leaves 30-50cm
long,
alternate, ovate, mostly untoothed, with wavy margins. Flowers to 30cm
long, rather narrowly trumpet-shaped, with recurved lobes and a
spathe-like
calyx."
I'm going to forward this to David Poole.

Please don't forget to tell him that Brugmansia and Datura are synynymous.
