0 Matt1208 Posted January 23, 2014 that'd be beautiful, a couple years ago I witnessed the council cut down a 150 year old tree because it was in the way of their path.....needless to say I was pissed off and made sure they knew about it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 EthnoGuy85 Posted January 23, 2014 The native Americans used to take the blooms and cup them in their hands and inhales the fragrance. It's said that it had a euphoria and intoxicating effect. Never tried it myself but always found it interesting 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
