Those are crown imperials, but they flower now rather than in summer. It's a near eastern species which is used to summer drought; they grow like mad, flower, and die back in short order.

TeeGee and Johhny,  Same here although we are located roughly halfway between you both, it does feel like a different country.  What I see is much closer to you Tee Gee on the cold 'spine' of the country :wave:
