We had huge lilac bushes in the back yard when I was growing up. I remember their strong fragrance and how I loved to cut the flowers and bring them inside. I even remember bringing them to school for my teachers.
We now have huge lilac bushes on our property today, and I still love their fragrance and delicate blooms from spring into early summer.
They seem to go well with one of my ironstone soup tureens.
What do you think?
I played with some Picmonkey effects because my iPhone is not taking very good pictures since the iOS7 update.
Is there a flower that you associate with your childhood?
Lilac bushes are actually from the olive family, and they attract butterflies which I absolutely love about them.
What are your favorite fresh cut flowers?
Well, that's it for today, friends!

Your lilacs are wonderful - lovely photos!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely! I can almost smell them here! There is only one Lilac that will grow in our area and I don't have it. I'm pea green with envy over your Lilacs! I love to cut almost any flower, but love the smell of roses.
ReplyDeleteThey're gorgeous and I can just about smell them from here. I'll never forget my grandmother's pansies, she always told me they were smiling at me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing those beautiful lilacs! Perfect in the white pitcher.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how well they fair in my area,as have not seen any around in years.
Enjoy your evening.
I have never seen lilacs in person- I don't think they grow in GA. Yours are gorgeous- I can almost smell them. :)
ReplyDeleteI love lilacs, I wish we could grow them here in Orlando, When i grew up in Minnesota we had a yard full

This was a really great lilac year for us as well... they seemed to benefit from our extreme winter... lovely post and thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteI love lilacs. Yours are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI adore lilacs. If I had a large sunny area I'd have a wall of them planted. Mine have just started to bloom- I need to cut a few to bring indoors so I can enjoy them too. Yours look wonderful in the white ironstone tureen.
