    I don't remember if I've ever seen these beautiful flowers. Somewhere in the middle of Asian garden.

    Has the structure shown by some Actinidia flowers, shoots are also like those seen in that genus.

    I thought that it looks like Actinidia but flowers were pink, is it rare or normal? I have a clue, it is near Weigela sinica(attachment) and on the path to the tunnel

    Maybe just old flowers, like cherry blossoms get when they've already been open for a long time?

    There's some 60 species in the genus, including ones with pink flowers.

    That should be Actinidia eriantha, and the flowers can be quite pink/rose on some plants. Love all your photos, by the way.

    Thank you, Andy, for specific name and nobody ever gave me credits for pictures, so maybe my skills in photography are quite improved
