Stinky flowers






Anyone know what these are? They grow on these large bush/tree things all over Austin. They have such pretty blossoms, but oh MY, they are smelly! Also they spew pollen everywhere. My van is covered with greenish-yellow dust.
I seem to remember maybe we had one of these in our backyard growing up? I vaguely remember cutting some blossoms to put in a vase in my room because they were so pretty, but quickly having to throw them out because they smelled so bad.
