Wow, I wish I could do a scratch and sniff on the screen. I would love to have the space for a lilac bush. I love the variety you have. You must be in heaven right now!
What an amazing variety! I love Lilacs, too! the variegated is so pretty! The 2 that came with my property do not bloom long, and hate to be cut & brought in the house! The first bad winter storm of last year took at least 1/3 off the tallest one. they both need a good haircut! Happy WW. Faythe @GMT
We have had a spectacular lilac year. And while my bush is about done (after about 3 weeks!), many around town are still in bloom. It's like they are making up for the last 3-4 years we didn't get any.
Those are gorgeous. I love the first one - I don't recall seeing lilacs with white edges like that before. Actually, I love them all. I need to plant some, as this is the first house I've been in without lilacs in the yard.
Kate, your lilacs are lovely! Is the first one "Sensation"? I planted a few at a client's house last year, but lilacs haven't bloomed here yet so I hope her's are as beautiful as yours is!
Oh, I'm so thrilled that everyone loves lilacs as much as me!
In mountain gardens, they truly are the harbinger of spring.
I apologize that I haven't responded individually as I usually do. Too many silly work obligations this week. When, oh when, will I win the lottery so I can play in the garden blog all day long...?
Lilacs from top to bottom: - Sensation - Beauty of Moscow - The illustrious President Grevy (my personal fave) - Tinkerbelle - Agincourt
That pic of Sensation is not my girl though she will be soon. I simply had to purchase that one after I discovered her. The other gals are mine. :)

lovely...my favorite is the third, that delicate blue.
The top one look almost painted. With all of our art skill we can only hope to emulate nature.
They're beautiful! I think I can smell them from here... I really love that second one. Gorgeous blend of soft colors, all.
Hi, Caite;
That blue one is my fave, too. It lives right outside my office window (at home) so I get to look at it all day long.
Glad you all like them. To me, they are the official sign of spring in my gardens. :))

Oh, when the lilacs come out, that's when I know it's REALLY spring. Sigh.
I love your shots! My eyes feel relaxed looking at them. :)

Such a lovely variety. I'm not sure I even knew that many existed.

Wow, you have some gorgeous lilacs, Kate! If they all smell as good as they look, your garden must have a heavenly fragrance right now.
Beautiful flowers! I love the blue one more ;)

I like the colors of the flowers! They are all so beautiful! Perfect blooms!
I heard lilacs thrive here in Idyllwild. I'll have to plant them one day. They're beautiful, love your photos!
The colors are so vivid! I love them!
