Can anyone identify this tree, please?


PLEASE . . . . can anyone identify this tree?
For several days now it has been alive with bees; the buzzing is constant and although the flowers are like a closed bell, the bees are all over it like a rash.
A friend told me the name - and I've forgotten it! 
It started something like 'Crino . . . .' because she said,"Think of Crinoline to remind you, but of course I can now only recall the Crinoline bit.

  2. I had no idea! I am so glad that you found out!!! Don't you had it when you cannot remember the name of a plant. I have a couple in my garden that I forget the names of and it drives me crazy! It is a very beautiful tree isn't it. I can totally see why you wanted to know the name of it!!! xx

  3. I'm lucky to have a knowledgeable friend and when she comes over, all you can hear in my garden is, "What's this one called?" But my brain is like a sieve - everything eventually falls through!
