It was when I visited the US that I saw Lilac's for the first time. I had wanted to see it when I studied about Lilacs in Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman. These cluster flowers are so lovely especially of lavender shade. Beautiful Pleiades, Andrea...

Lovely use of L to languish love on lilacs. Stop and smell them every spring. Well penned.

lilacs are the ultimate gift; I do not think mine last the entire two weeks, but I can smell them when I close my eyes; I am glad to know that you can grow them too

Best time to visit Brandon Castle in Suffolk is when the lilacs are in bloom - an unforgettable experience! Enjoyed, Andrea!

Lilacs were my mothers favorite spring flower. She was from the Midwest. She always spoke about their beauty and scent but I never got to see or smell one until I traveled on vacation to Bavaria in 2007. They are unforgettable! The tree I encountered was lilac colored. This is a lovely entry for the contest Andrea. Blessings xxoo

They are indeed beautiful flowers. Pity so short lived but others grow in their place.
