Lilacs are such beautiful and fragrant flowers with their green leaves. They are perennials, meaning they will bloom year after year. Not much maintenance is required. Lots of sunlight and that is about it. They come in many varieties and colors. Mine are a light purple. Lilacs can grow from 5 to 15 feet tall, depending on the variety. The fragrant flowers are good for cutting and attractive to butterflies. I always cut a bouquet and bring indoors. Smells wonderful and brings back childhood memories.
The frost got most of the blooms but I managed to catch these few before they are gone. I have been spending so much of my time in the backyard, I almost forgot about these lilacs in the front yard. Nature has so much to offer.

This is a Great to See.
Nice. Our lilac finally bloomed about a week and a half ago. We had such a cold spring everything seems delayed.
What lovely blooms of the lilac! Great photo.
Thanks Pamela, not many blooms this year with the weather.
Wonderful shot, very pretty! Thank you for the information too!
Thank you Courtney, I love these flowers.
Darn weather. Lovely photo and these bloom the same time as the honeysuckle? Wow, I bet your garden smells heavenly. I like this color.
I know, I was lucky to get this photo. Next year will be better hopefully. Thanks Kim, it does smell great.
Sorry to see the lilacs have competed blooming for this year.
So lovely Lilacs! 🙂
Thank you very much Manoel!
The lily are the royal tassel and the royal symbol of most of the severed-tempered rulers.
I did not know that. Thanks for the information and the visit.
It beautifies our place with such blooms. c”,)
Thanks and I agree with you.
I love the smell most of all but not lucky growing them
The smell is amazing and they are very easy to grow.
Lilacs are my favorite and your photo is awesome!
You are so kind thanks Paul. Have a great day.
Very beautiful and vibrant colors!
Thanks Ellie they are a pinkish lavender color and one of my favorites.
It turns out you have so many special things around you.
I absolutely do Albert. This is why I love spring. It was late this year but it has arrived. I am seeing things starting to bloom and grow all around and it is like a miracle.
I’m glad you have all that, and also that miracle, the real miracle.
I agree. I forget when the winters are so long. Then spring comes along and makes everything ok again. The miracle of nature.
I love this flower because of the beautiful purple color and aroma
Thank you, a favorite of mine as well.
Good to see you by the way.
You always take beautiful pictures. What type of camera do you have?
How kind, this was taken with my small point and shoot, Canon PowerShot.
I thought it was a Canon. Hope they are not too expensive
No and well worth every penny, I take my sunset photos with it too.
Beautiful lilacs. I love the scent…I can smell it in my head hah
Thank you so much for your comment.
