Post by: bayou girl on Apr 25, 2012, 10:39:27 PM: i could not smell much of one. i don't know if it was because there wasn't one or if it was because it was overpowered by the honey suckle near by. the last picture shows the leaves best. it reminded me of spirea but was more tree like than bush like.
