Another score for homesickness

there are related species in America, but none which smells so sweet, and no nightingales there in the dark too!

Re: Another score for homesickness

I also like the sweet smell of Padus avium (czeremchy) especially in the evenings when its aroma is intensified by the light breeze. Henryk

Re: Padus avium (czeremchy)

Ys, it is the same word in Russian too, possibly derived from Sanskrit "kramukas"? In English I think it is known as a bird cherry, more traditionally classified as Prunus padus before it was moved into its seperate genus.
