Spring is usually one of my favorite seasons, but in recent years the popularity of a specific type of tree has made this season somewhat nauseous. I don't know what this particular tree is called, but in spring it's covered with little white flowers. A neatly-trimmed line of these things in your yard card can be quite dramatic, but standing downwind of them can be quite disgusting. The flowers smell like a combination of filthy washing-machine water and semen. Seriously. You can smell them even worse at night. The traditional night-time aroma of honey-suckle (and sometimes even the wind-shift blasts of eye-watering reek from the sewage treatment facility) are completely overwhelmed at times by this evil smelling plant.
