American Basswood, AKA Linden and Bee-tree, has opened its yellowish white, dangling, heavily scented flowers. Its long-stalked flower clusters hang from the middle of leafy greenish bracts. The nut-like drupes that eventually form are dispersed helicopter fashion by the wing-like bracts. Basswood is a moist soil component of deciduous forests.
