take a whiff
There are a bunch of these trees blooming around campus. These, photographed above are near park, but there are also some near public safety and throughout town.
Slut Day welcomed in spring and the blooming of these warm-weather plants reassured us of the onset of the season.
My research leads me to believe that this is the Halesia diptera, more commonly known as the American snowdrop tree. Not to beat around the bush, (or to beat around the bush -or tree-) this tree smells like semen. It’s in the air, it’s all around us – it’s almost as bad as the water in Los Angeles.
But the forsythia are in bloom(there’s a great one behind Bogart) and those pink trees – whatever they are – are rampant. Check them out Hudson Street.
Spring has sprung and so have the buds on the American snowdrops.
