Walking in my neighborhood last week, I happened up on the small
flowers (roughly the size of pansies) in the linked photo. Most of
them were swarming with bees, no doubt in part because of their lovely
aroma, which reminded me strongly of the flowers from an oleander tree
on the same block (which is not currently in bloom, BTW). Anybody know
what these are called? They are not the most beautiful flowers, but
the scent is heavenly!

These look like some variety of iceplant. There are several different
genera of iceplants.
