Sweet Smell of Spring

...indeed!
Every spring these unidentified little beauties show up on the patio for a few weeks, sprouting out on flimsy stalks about two feet long (seen on the right side of this one), which makes for a challenge to photograph in even the slightest breeze. They grow in clusters like this and are about 1/2 inch diamater, and their aroma is absolutely intoxicating, but I have no idea what they are - any clues? Would love to know.

Beautifully photographed. The blurred green background is the perfect stage for these stars. Well crafted.

Afraid I have no idea what these are, Bill, but love your capture of them ! A lovely, crisp image, beautifully composed and on the perfect bg.

Beautiful blossoms, Bill. Not sure what it is, but I like it.
