Stinky blooms?

[Judy Owens]

There's something stinky blooming right now, but I don't know what it is. Just getting occasional wafts, but they're gag-inducing.  Too sweet and in too many locations around the neighborhood to be decomposing critters.

Any thoughts?

My best guess would be the dreaded and invasive Callery/Bradford Pear! Its white flowers typically blooms in May.

MC-IRIS Is offering tree replacement for landowners who are willing to rid their property of this invasive tree that chokes out native species. https://www.mc-iris.org/callery-pear-replacement.html

More about this species' environmental impact from Sycamore Land Trust

It also could be the equally invasive Tree of Heaven that pervades the neighborhood and city. It too is gag-inducing and in bloom right now.

I believe it’s the Japanese lilac tree. It has white blooms and is stinky-sweet. Unlike the old-fashioned pinkish-purple lilac bush which has a pleasant sweet fragrance.
