This evening while taking a long walk with my dogs me and my wife just had enchanting blocks and blocks full of lilac perfume and i wanted to thank everyone that has lilacs and is out there making the world a more enjoyable place. However when i see people who plant callery pears and the tree of heaven(hell) things i am just so insulted by how bad they smell and why someone would do this to people or themselves. Luckily neither of those will grow for me so i am not tempted by foul smelling fruit trees (paws paws failed misreably here, they would live but only enough to inspire false hope and large effort). European Lindens are incredibly intoxicating and wonderful smelling and the only thing we have that can even come close (It doesn’t really) to competing with plumeria.
My sister in law cannot eat fresh cilantro as she is part of the soap people. However she agrees it smells good and once cooked she accepts it. It boggles me to think of people eating mango salsa without cilantro.
