These things are growing wild up here in PA and blooming like crazy. AND they smell amazing, a sweet and almost citrusy smell. Obviously it's some native plant, and thus if they will grow in VA (which I would assume they will), I'd love to have some in my native pollinator garden.
(And of course... I'm thinking about doing a painting from one of these photos I took.)
So.....
What is it??
Prickly seed pod :)
