Magnolia x wieseneri (50L)

There can be few other plants perfectly hardy in these isles with flowers as incredibly fragrant as these; their fabulous scent potentially drifting 30m or so on the breeze. This makes a large deciduous shrub or small tree, producing its upward facing, saucer-shaped flowers in June and July. They are creamy-white with a central boss of deep-red stamen and smell like nothing else. A cut flower in a closed room becomes overpowering. A cross between M. obovata and M. sieboldii, both Asian species. Happy in any good soil, though thin chalk would be a step too far.
