Purple trees
Wandering through the city you might notice that some trees are covered in purple/ lavender blooms. Usually this is the Paulownia, an invasive species from Asia. It has a cough syrup element in its scent.
You might also see wisteria, which is a vine that can cover live or dead trees.

Beautiful photos, Linda! I love the bluish purpley flowers — I’m waiting on the bluebells in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, which were *just* starting to bloom last weekend.

Thanks Maura. Botanicals are my favorite subject. Too bad I can’t capture the smell, too.

Just ask @boonebgorges, I’m sure he could develop a plug-in for that! = )
