Sore Throat & Night Blooming Jasmine

11 Jul

I’ve been too tired to really post anything. Been bugged by a sore throat and congestion. Always a fun combo.

But that doesn’t irritate me as much as night blooming jasmine does. This year, someone in our neighborhood planted a ton of these flowers.

Night blooming jasmine

It’s a beautiful flower, but I absolutely DESPISE the scent. It is heavy, ghastly, and smells like the fragrance an embalmer douses a dead body in to cover the smell of death. Consequently, it smells like a funeral home.

As soon as the sun goes down, the air is filled with this awful scent. What’s even worse, is that we’re in the midst of a heat wave. Somehow the heaviness of the heat adds to the oppressiveness of this odiferous flower.
