Waking up this afternoon realizing I don't have to go to work this morning.

A two year old message from special Litster …replying to one I sent long before that. She reminded me of a funny tale from when we met up.

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.”
