Mango Flowers

There's a musky smell in the air. Tis' the season for the mango trees to bloom and if you haven't ever smelled a mango tree in bloom it is an odd smell. It's a musky smell, slightly of rotten eggs, but sweet at the same time. It attracts flies, beetles and wasps of all shapes and sizes this way. My trees are covered in blooms. I can't wait for this years harvest. Unfortunately these won't be ready until summer!
