Probably a Schizophragma

I think you've cracked it! That rings a loud bell. We have planted one

Ours took a while too but is planted on the north side in rubbish, its been
flowering for a couple of seasons now. We have been trying to work out where
we could fit the other species (we have hydranoides) I have always quite
fancied the form 'Rosea' but have never found one for sale when I had money
in my pocket!!
