I wonder why this plant isn't seen more often. It's a delightful shrub or
small tree, with nicely scented flowers. And it flowers when not much else
is in flower (well, maybe not this year!).

I agree. It's a fairly 'quiet' thing, so perhaps it doesn't get enough
attention for itself. But as you say, it's very pretty, scented (though not
powerfully so) and its fresh, bright green leaves unfurling are a joy in
themselves.
