Bloom Time - Sweet Pepperbush

Clethra alinifolia.


It is not pepper. but when in full bloom a sweet smell fills the air.


And we have quite a bit of it along the edges of our yard.


A native Pinelands plant, common throughout the region.


I don't know if the previous owner, who enjoyed gardening, planted this shrub or if it was already here.


No matter, it's here, and brightens and adds a pleasant fragrance the yard.
