Ok, so...ever since I learned what this tree was, I planned on cutting it down because it is invasive. Then some of the flowers bloomed. Now I'm torn. I have never smelled a flower that smelled so good in my life. I'm talkin' bout the Royal Empress tree.
My favorite scent ever is honeysuckle. I have candles that are honeysuckle scented. I have honeysuckle perfume. When the honeysuckle blooms, I cut pieces off that are full of flowers and put them in vases around my house. I never thought there was anything that smelled better than honeysuckle...until now.
How do I fight myself? LOL...I know I should cut it down. It's invasive! But how can I make myself cut something down that smells like HEAVEN???
