Diabetes affects our blood vessels and nerves and therefore can affect any part of the body. However, certain parts of our body are affected more than other parts.
I don't think dogwoods have (much?) scent, maybe just lightly floral. The white petally looking things are not actually petals they are bracts, like a poinsettia has. There's something called an English dogwood that is very fragrant, but it isn't a true dogwood and is also known as mock orange. Bradford pears have a smell that this author described as sweaty socks, so if your tree doesn't smell very good that's probably it: http://www.gardenguides.com/106133-dogw ...
Plants give off odors after a rain. rain smells like fresh cut grass, earth and flowers...just like how a dogs smell gets stronger after they get wet (wet dog smell) so does everything else. Except the majority of things that get wet are plants and flowers so that smell overcomes most. Rain is a good smell! NikkiSixx Â· 8 years ago.
