These are clerodendrum trichotomum or harlequin glorybower flowers. Two weeks ago, the buds were pale yellow green tinged with red (4th photo), so I didn't expect the buds to turn into such pretty white star shaped flowers.
Clerodendrum trichotomum is in the same family as clerodendrum bungei or rose glory bower, and in Japanese, the former, i.e., harlequin glorybower, is called "Smelly plant" and rose glory bower "Peony smelly plant." Yes, both plants are smelly😂
The calyxes of harlequin glorybower flowers will turn into bright red (which are also star shaped!). I can't wait to see the calyxes😊!!

臭木（クサギ）です。牡丹臭木は知っていたのですが、牡丹に似ていない臭木があったんですね。でも白色といい、おひげといい、とってもかわいいではありませんか。ただやはり臭いそうです｡｡｡😂
もうじきガクが真赤になるとのこと。今から楽しみです😊
