These photos turned out more "artistic" than "botanical", so I think they deserve an entry of their own ( Read more... )

Green, yellow and brown colours... Very beautiful! I even feel the smell. Does it smell?

Thank you! :) These are some of the most beautiful ornamental Thujas I've ever seen.

Thuja trees don't smell of anything in particular, not even the way Cypress trees smell when they are "in bloom". My sense of smell is not very good because I've had a lot of trouble with my sinuses, but I can still smell the cypresses.

Maybe they have some kind of "conifer" smell that is too weak for my nose. I'm curious about it myself, but I don't want to hurt even the smallest branch to find out what their resin smells like.
