Up the road about 15 meters from my home there are this trees used as "living fences", the Birds and Hummingbird Moths, love it!! The flowers are so beautiful, almost look like soft pink Orchids. The tree is very tall.

Thank you so much for the ID, NuwanChathuranga. I have been researching for so long without results. That nice link is super! Now I can grow my own, they are so easy and fast growers and the flowers are gorgeous, Thank you again... : )

I had wisteria in mind, maybe, but I think Nuwan's right.
