lilacs remind me of my gran, she had a lovely rambling lilac in her front garden.
when we lived near Boston we always had to go to the Arboretum each year to see the lilacs, they have a fantastic collection, and it's such a beautiful place.
we have one in our garden, it didn't flower for years after we planted it, and now we're thinking of moving...
I guess I'll just have to enjoy choosing which variety to plant next time, or maybe two, or three......
I love lilacs, they remind me of my mum, and the smell is just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the sewmamasew prize - wow!!! You clever thing you, that's brilliant. (and the rainbow quilt is gorgeous)
I adore lilacs. In the last place we lived, the people next door had a beautiful lilac; the smell was so pungent and heady in early summer.
ReplyDeleteI'll come back to look at the pics - where are you thinking of moving to?

We have two wonderful lilacs that sit on our front lawn in front of the house ... yummy!
ReplyDeleteI'll come back then!
ReplyDeleteI adore lilacs too. Reminds me of home. I can see and smell them sitting here reading about them!
ReplyDeleteI love these photos - how clever you are. I especially love the last one which reminds me of kaleidoscopes.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful blooms..I've had little success with mine..asked MIL recently what her secret was - she puts a whole bag of lime around plant every year! So hopefully will see better results this time..Good luck with your decision/planning :O) Gx
