Sophora secundiflora.
The air drips with the smell of grape cool-aid. I love to take a deep, full breath, inhaling nature's purple scent. It brings on a wave of nostalgia, of childhood memories and hours spent rubbing little red seeds on the concrete, in anticipation of creating heat from the friction.
I always know when spring is coming, the aroma of tightly clustered flowers lets me know. One of my favorite smells, and one that I wish would last all year round...the Texas Mountain Laurel.
