    Thank you, all. I wish I could say this was aromatic, but, alas, this particular bubby blossom was shortchanged!

    Shouldn’t be confused with spice bush, which is another native woodland shrub.

    Sweetshrub, Calycanthus floridus…native woodland shrub, fruity smelling blooms and aromatic leaves when crushed.
