On Kodiak I have taken close up pictures of practically every plant and flower. So in Maine I enjoy taking pictures of the 'strange' plants and flowers. But since I grew up in Maine they are not really 'strange'. I do know most of their names, but I have not yet met them through the lens of my camera.
On this trip while bike riding I kept on noticing this very strong and pleasant scent. I noticed it occurred near fields where I saw what looked sort of like the milkweed I remembered from my youth in Virginia. But I never remembered milkweed having a pleasant scent and it did not look exactly like the milkweed I remembered. Anyway, we eventually figured out that it was indeed the plant that smelled so good. And it also turned out to be milkweed. The very plants that monarch butterflies like so much. I bet it smells so good to attract the monarch butterflies. The milkweed does not have a very pretty flower but it sure does smell good!
