All over the city of Eau Claire (for the past month) a rather large tree has been blooming. It has hundreds of little bunches of upside down flowers hanging from every branch. It is very pleasant smelling until you get close.

My husband and I would like to know the name. By the way I posted my intro at the end of the "cities" thread but have also copied it here. Hello and thanks, Pat

I don't know how I failed to see this new forum. I've been a member of Garden Web for several years and have always identified myself by name as a Wisconsonite. I am near Elk Mound which is near Eau Claire. We are not natives having lived in Texas, Ohio, TN, NC, and NJ before finding the prettiest, coldest state of them all! We are on 13 acres, mostly woods, so we, of course, have many varieties of hosta and other shade plants. Also a big veggie garden tended mostly by our daughter-in-law who lives with us along with our son and their two little boys. What more could we ask for when we are surrounded by God's country, beautiful plants and delightful grandchildren! Glad to be with you. Thanks, Pat
