Subject: LINDEN Or LIME-TREE BRBR

"In all Denmark there is no more luscious month than the one when the lime
trees come into bloom. They have a scent of hay, honey and holy incense."

Isak Dinesen

Also the national tree of Czechoslovakia. I haven't dared ask how the tree was
"divided" in 1993 when the two countries separated.

It's amazing how insignificant a little sprig of "lipa" looks and smells...and
how people and bees nearly swoon under the influence of a big one in full
bloom, like the ones at the Mala Strana exit from the Prague subway.
