Lovely bush, lovely scent...it is nice that you have established bushes in your new place...I bet it is heavenly to walk about and smell the lilac and hear the bees buzzin'.

Hi W'lass... I'm enjoying looking in all the nooks and crannies for the different curiosities that this place has hidden for me to find! It attracts butterflies by the dozen..as well as the bumbles! There's another blooming shrub that I have to ID before I can add to my plant list..it has lovely pink flowers and must be very tough..I pruned all the deadwood off of it last winter and it seems to be thanking me for it by blooming beautifully.
Hi Camillia...that is the true lilac, right? I plan to collect a deep purple one and a white as well. On some of the abandon homesteads along the Ontario hiways there are groves of lilac blooming happily untended for decades and still producing their lovely bloom.
