Linden Festival

Things are running 10-14 days behind this year; I wonder if this festival can be linked to/same as/immediately following Summereve. The littleleaf (tilia cordata) smells great. The basswoods (tilia americana) don't seem to get covered with bloom the way the littleleaf does. I'll have to look up just what variety it is that grows and is harvested for scent in France.
