This is the time of the year when a little linden tree grove near my office building comes into its own, budding with the inconspicuous green blooms that will soon shower the area with its gorgeous perfume. No one gives the linden tree its props, mostly because no one knows that it’s the source of such enchanting fragrance. I also happen to enjoy being one of the only people I know who love the linden tree – like some little secret known only to me, so no one else can ruin it. The last thing I want to see is the linden tree go the way of the Bradford pear – overexposure never helped anyone.
The next few weeks will find these trees in bloom – seek one out and sit beneath its bee-buzzing brilliance – it’s the perfect welcome for summer.
