I love lilacs.
Their delicate blossoms. Their fragrant scent. The beautiful shades of lavender.
I had a lilac bush up until the desolate septic project destroyed our back yard last year. It came from a start I got from my mom who got it from my grandpa. He enjoyed lilacs, too.
Spring without a lilac has not exactly seemed like spring.
So I’m making do today with some glorious substitutes for the real thing.

Divine – I have just returned from a trip to San Remo in Italy and there was lilac dripping everywhere, the scent was intoxicating and started a new plant love affair for me. Thank you for this lovely post!
I’m so utterly and completely jealous, Jennifer (both of the trip and the lilacs!). Enjoy your new love affair! 🙂
