This is the time of year when linden trees here are in full bloom, and their fragrance thrills me. Often wondered why no one has made a linden perfume. Here's a link to one woman's attempt to find a linden perfume.
Here they do make a linden syrup and serve it diluted in ice cold water on a hot summer's day, the likes of which we've been having.
Here's a close-up of linden blossoms.

It is pretty.
What a beautiful tree. I looked it up and there is actually a species with fragrant flowers native to Texas (of all places) which has grey bark. Maybe I will try to find one...either already growing so I can see it, or to be planted. The article I found said they are fast-growing, so even if I am old, if I live long enough, I might see some blooms!!! And smell them....
Looks very beautiful.
