Gorgeous! The only thing "wrong" with lilacs is that their blooms are gone so fast. You've got to catch 'em while you can!Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02971991029290518107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068392907360378021.post-72635749086702541812014-04-15T20:01:50.206-07:002014-04-15T20:01:50.206-07:00I adore lilacs and their fragrance.

We grew them in my childhood garden in England, they were prevalent in gardens when I lived in New England, but we have little success with them here in the south, due to the Summer heat and not usually very cold Winters. Now here we are after several days in the eighties, tonight it's dropping down to freezing - our plants are at risk sadly.<br /><br />Mother Nature why do you tease us so?<br /><br />Lovely pics JoAnn, I can just about sniff the perfume through my screen!<br />Hugs - Mary X<br /><br />P.S. Loveliest lilacs I've ever seen were on Mackinac Island, MI - home of the Lilac Festival in June, and the beautiful Grand Hotel where they filmed Somewhere In Time!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068392907360378021.post-41911991224843056012014-04-15T18:44:30.535-07:002014-04-15T18:44:30.535-07:00Wow, that bi-color is amazing.

(roses seem to have trouble except planted in special gardens) I do recall those from my Ohio past.Julie Fukudahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704374750710761269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068392907360378021.post-1850372482832409392014-04-15T12:59:54.667-07:002014-04-15T12:59:54.667-07:00Lilacs are one of my favorite flowers!!
