Weigelas have shown masses of flowers this year. the plain leaved one has been exceptional as the flowers have been giving off a delightful perfume, stronger this year than other years.

The scent is I can only describe as having a slight powdery flowery highlight. Think of a talcum powder used by a favourite ancient Aunt or Grandmother, warm and homely.
Weigela flowers attract Bees to them, especially Bumble Bees who crawl through the flowers slowly and methodically.
