Lilac Love….

Oh I am in HEAVEN!  The lilacs are starting to bloom!!!

The first one to open is the common lilac shrub, but really, what is common about this?

I have them down by the rose garden where I am sure to enjoy their scent.

Most of them I am training to be in tree form, isn’t this little guy cute!

I can smell them with the windows open in our family room.

This is Bloomerang, a repeat bloomer with a really nice scent, but smaller blooms.

But my favorite is and I think always will be…. Sensation steals the show!  Look at those gorgeous blooms!  Perfect lavender tipped with white edges!  Yummy!!

It is also trained as a tree at the edge of the fence to the rose garden.

I’ll post more pics as more of them open up.  I checked and these lilacs are blooming three weeks early from last year.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
