She exudes very sweet scent at night only, and I hope no one would kill her.
I am referring to the beautiful neem tree shown at the photo.It is full of dainty flowers now. It smells so fragrant during nighttime only. (Sorry, could not tweak the photo).
Neem trees are said to repel mosquitoes too, and with evergreen leaves. This time of the year, it is full of small white-yellowish flowers.
Am hoping no one will remove it when they construct a house on that lot.

Yes it is pretty, but I don't know if it will survive winter.

@acelawrites I agree. There is another plant that I wanted to have. It can also repel the mosquitoes.

@Shavkat some mint plants also repel mosquitoes.

It is good to have it around your home; they say it repels mosquitoes.

Yes, I found a seedling nearby. I didn't know if it truly repels mosquitoes, maybe they do not want the smell of the leaves.

Yes, I hope they won't remove that tree. It's beautiful and not yet so big or invasive.

@acelawrites I agree. Something that beautiful should stay that way.

I agree, the planet needs more trees to cool it; also to reverse pollution and climate change.

There were about four or five plants in that lot near our house, and I hope the owner would retain it when they build a house there.

Indeed, it is. I didn't know that it is a neem tree until someone said it is.

It really smells so good, especially at night! So soothing and relaxing. Yes, I hope they would not cut it when they construct a house there.

I hope they would not remove it. I would be so sad when they do.

Yes, it looks so green and beautiful; when am resting my eyes from the computer, I stare on it to have it refreshed.
