These May smells just have to be smelled to be believed...

...something a blog post - to say nothing of fb - can capture. Yet. This is a pearly little white plant that I have yet to identify but smells superb: 

And the ubiquitous honeysuckle, although this is a puny specimen. I really don't know of any flower - the possible exception being gardenias, which are rarer than hen's teeth - that smells as good:

I think this is Japanese Honeysuckle - 

Lonicera japonica

Yesterday I took a four hour bike ride and smelled flowers nearly the whole time. 

Early in the year the delicious smelling flowers start out (around here) with hyacinths, but they're almost only in gardens. Lily-of-the-valley too, but you don't see that many any more. When the lilacs come in they smell wonderful. Wisteria smell magnificent also. Peonies come out and are almost overwhelmingly fragrant. But bring lots of those giant black ants. When the honeysuckle arrives, though, everything else, at least to me, is in second place. But I know where there's a gardenia the size of a mini-van and I may go see if it's in bloom. I should try to grow some. 

There are some magnolias around that smell nice too. They're gaudy and they smell a little gaudy but they're nice to have around. My neighbor has a big one.

Go smell some flowers this weekend if you're able. As the days get longer and warmer the great smells diminish.
