I love the way you describe the trees, flowers, leaves and their scents!! I was looking to find out what kind of tree grows here and in the spring always fills the air with an intoxicating, romantic aroma. It is with heart shaped leaves, smooth bark and the the blooms are small, puffy, whitish and by most people, go unnoticed.I believe it is the Linden from what I read above!! I have been asking everyone for years! No one seems to have much interest. So thank you!

Two Trees,
What a beautiful an unusual bouquet that must have been. Glad you got a chance to really enjoy an overlooked, underappreciated spring treasure. Your dinner guest enjoyed a rare treat. Thanks for sharing.

Ahhhh, Ms. Makra knows what she is talking about! Earlier this spring the small grove of Black Locust trees near my apartment were in full bloom. The scent was intoxicating. I had planned a dinner for a special someone, and picked a large bouquet of locust flowers for the dinner table. My whole apartment was filled with the wonderful fragrance of the blooms. The evening was just right and we both kept coming back to how amazing the blooms looked and smelled. Scent from Above, Indeed!
