Dove is working on an ID for one of mine. Might be giraldiana
But it might not.
I bought it from a roadside stall years ago, no label, pretty pale yellow flowers, not too crowded. I thought it might be F. suspensa but Dove says it's not like hers.
The thing is my 'Suspensa' isn't a firm ID as it was planted by the owner before last of this garden. And all I have left since the tree felling is the small one in a pot that I took as a cutting a couple of years ago, so ...

Nut, I think a trip to Cambridge might be in order http://www.botanic.cam.ac.uk/Botanic/TrailPlace.aspx?p=27&ix=174&pid=2&prcid=27&ppid=2693
We'd have to check with them before our trip that their F. Giraldiana is blooming
