There are trees in the Carolinas that stink like sour mop heads and BO when blooming. The flowers are pretty. I’ll ask mom what they are called next time we see each other.

Society garlic is pretty frickin pungent and I can smell it super far away. Jasmine is another good one. Basil when you disturb or trim it.

Yes. I believe I know the one. They have wicked bonsais. Beautiful place.
Edit: Oh and if I’m not mistaken I think they collected the pollen for the next generation. Gotta love it.
