En mi paseo de hoy me encontré con un grandioso algarrobo. Antes de verlo, lo olí o más bién a sus flores.
On my walk today I came across a great carob tree. Before seeing it, I smelled it or rather its flowers.
Este ejemplar era un "macho" y como curiosidad indicar, que hay algarrobos hembras (cuyas flores producirán algarrobas), los hay machos también llamados algarrobos judíos y por qué no, también los hay hermafroditas, ganándose el honor de ser considerados polígamos.
This specimen was a "male" and as a curiosity to indicate that there are female carob trees (whose flowers produce carobs), there are males also called Jewish carob trees and why not, there are also hermaphrodites, earning the honor of being considered polygamous.
Las flores no destacan ni por tamaño ni por belleza, pero en su conjunto la floración del árbol es espectacular. Las masculinas están compuestas solo por estambres y su olor es muy característico e intenso.
The flowers do not stand out for their size or beauty, but as a whole the flowering of the tree is spectacular. The male flowers are composed only of stamens and their scent is very characteristic and intense.
El compuesto responsable de esta fragancia tan particular, que recuerda al amoniaco, es la espermidina, que si bien se encuentra presente en el semen humano, también lo está en estas flores, entre otras y cuyas funciones son muy diversas.
The compound responsible for this particular fragrance, reminiscent of ammonia, is spermidine, which, although present in human semen, is also present in these flowers, among others, and whose functions are very diverse.
Independientemente al olor, para mí, desagradable, honraré la belleza de conjunto.
Regardless of the smell, for me, unpleasant, I will honor the overall beauty.
