Re: viburnum question

Viburnum?  For some strange reason Rochester is INUNDATED with Viburnum.  I
absolutely H*A*T*E the smell of it, find it extremely strong and offensive-- I
actually think I may be allergic to it because it is so offensive to me when I
am running by.  I can detect a plant well before I see it.  I do love the
blossoms though.
