Getting my lilac tree to grow and then have flowers was a great achievement for me. I love the colour and the smell of them. More were posted with this, so click here if you want to see other flowers.
Looking back to when the lilac tree was flowering
So beautiful!
Thank you Marland.
Beautiful
Thank you Sharon.
I’ve always loved lilacs. Nothing shouts SPRING more than brushing past a lilac bush, releasing its enticing fragrance!
Another fan Julie, I can’t wait for next spring to see it flowering again. Thank you.
Wow amazing post
Thank you so much.
I have fond memories of lilacs from childhood. My mother had a lilac tree that grew and grew. In winter we would forget about it. Then in Spring, we would suddenly smell something and realize the lilacs were blooming. I tend to favor the lilac, purple/pink colors versus white. Thanks for the smile. Spring will be here soon!
I love your description and hope that happens here. I love the smell so much, though my trees are still fairly small. My mum has one that is the lilac colour, but the edges are white, I want that one too, and am trying to grow some cuttings from it now. You’re welcome, thank you for sharing your story.
I like the idea of lilac with white edges. My only sadness is that they don’t bloom / smell for too long. A month… 5 weeks maybe. So, when that happens I am out walking ALL the time, because so many people have lilacs. Yours will grow and be wonderful.
Me too, I really want one. I will take what I can get, I think many flowers are like that. Thank you so much.
I love lilacs. Haven’t tried to grow one in years. Well done. Beautiful work 😍
Me too, they are surprisingly easy to grow, if you can get one. I had to use cuttings from my mums tree. Thank you.
I do love the fragrance. I had forgotten we had large lilac bushes once.
I think they are one of those forgotten trees/bushes. I had trouble finding one to buy, had to get cuttings from my mum’s tree.
Our last house up north had a back where the original builder had spent a small fortune on landscaping, which unfortunately was either not placed well or a wrong selection for the cold area. Lilac was an early casualty. It was great while it lasted though.
That is sad that it died, it is cold here, but I imagine not like the cold you would get there. I hope mine will thrive.
Now that you say that I’m not sure I have ever seen any down here in the hot south. Might be a true temperate zone plant.
Maybe, though I think they went out of favour, so I’m trying to bring them back, lol.
It’s so nice to have these beauties to look back on!
It is good Anne, and nice to have the photos until it flowers again. Thank you Anne.
I just saw on the news about the Santa Cruz pier, oh no.
beautiful and I love their scent
Thank you Beth, I love their scent too. I just smell the flowers when I walk past it. lol
