春神來了,忠孝知了

凤凰花 is the city flower of Tainan. 
It's blooming in June, which is also the season for graduation. 
You can see the streets are lined with 凤凰木 in summer and its flowers are as red as fire. 
Recently,  蓝花楹  is blooming at campus, mistaken for 凤凰木. 
While you see 蓝花楹, you know Spring is coming!
 
 They are quite a delight to eyes, aren't they?


But there is also a kind of trees blooming in our school recently, which I really don't like. 

掌叶苹婆 (Hazel Bottle Tree
)

 
Why don't I like these trees?
Its flowers give off such a distinctive and unpleasant odor that people call them "雞屎花." 

Its flowers also bloom in spring. 
Unfortunately, a row of  掌叶苹婆 are planted outside my office and their odor almost drives me crazy. 


I would like spring more if it's a spring without 雞屎花 blooming.
