Connie, I share your mother's love of lilacs, I grew up with lilac trees in our backyard and my father would pick bunches for my mother in the spring. We had vases of beautiful purple lilacs throughout our house ~ yes, their heavenly scent brings back sweet memories for me.. Thank you for sharing your lovely thoughts and for your wonderful comments. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
