Whatever they are
Day 46
These flowers smelled really good
May 11th, 2010
I'm walking across America.
That's the idea, at least. I'm walking westward from New York City for nine months or so. If everything goes according to plan, I'll be in Oregon when the clock runs out. If nothing goes according to plan, maybe I'll end up in Peru or Mongolia or Pennsylvania. You can read all about the details of my trip if you're so inclined.

Here's my progress so far:
Lilac, maybe? I didn’t know you could hedge them.
Yes, they are Lilacs. And they do smell so gooood!
It’s Star Jasmine.
I have the same plant in front of my house. Smells delish!
LILACS…
Yes lilacs do smell wonderfull and I’ve always wished they bloomed longer then they do here, only about a week or so in the spring.
Those are lilacs for sure, my FAVORITE smell in the spring. I’ve never seen them trimed to a hedge like that…very interesting.
My understanding is that Lilacs are taller and have a conical shape to the blooming areas… This looks like a variety of Jasmine… and Jasmine smells heavenly!
i used to live in chicago and i miss the scent of these. intoxicating.
That doesn’t look like a lilac bush…lilacs grow in big clusters and the leaves are too small. Lilac bushes have big flat leaves. I think it looks more like a star jasmine bush.
This appears to be Korean Dwarf Lilac, a very fragrant, low-growing variety of lilac, Matt.
I’m very much enjoying reading of and viewing images of your walk! Thank you for sharing from the road!
