Recently I was struck by a sweet scent while walking at the NW corner of the sanctuary. I traced its source to the blossoms of a medium-sized tree at one end of a small copse on the median between the path and the parking lot. I wondered if it might be a honey locust tree. Later research confirmed this to be correct. I didn't notice any thorns so it may be the of the thornless variety, Gleditsia triacanthos inermis. More about honey locust trees can be learned here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey_locust.
