What Made You Smile Today, v6

I can only describe what milkweed and flax smell like right now. Soooooo fragrant. And great for pollinators.

I literally had to Google how to describe the smell:

The Fragrant Bloom of Milkweed
When milkweed flowers are in bloom, they release a distinctive and often delightful scent. This fragrance plays a key role in attracting pollinators, especially butterflies and bees.
The scent of milkweed in bloom is generally described as:
  • Sweet: The most commonly cited characteristic is a strong, sweet fragrance.
  • Honey-like: Some descriptions include notes of honey in the scent.
  • Spicy: The scent may also have a spicy undertone.
  • Vanilla or candy-like: Swamp milkweed (Asclepias incarnata) is noted for a particularly sweet, vanilla or candy-like fragrance.
  • Lilac-like: The scent of Common Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) is often compared to the fragrance of lilacs.
  • Fruity: Some individuals detect a fruity flavor, like strawberry, alongside the lilac aroma.
Individual Experiences:
  • One person described the scent as "intoxicating" and embodying "high summer".
  • Another found the fragrance "mesmerizing" on a summer's day.
  • Amother mentioned the aroma being "overwhelming, but in a great way.”
 
A friend shared a picture of her 6-month-old in his big boy crib, and it was the absolute cutest thing.
She also shared a pic of his older brother when he was the same age, and it looked like they just reshared the same picture. Their kids really look like copies of one another LOL
 
A friend was round early to practice some stuff, and she made me laugh so much. We had a great time. And nobody is the victim of her humour. Which I like a lot.
