That would make a lot of bouquets.<br /><br />p.s. green and purple really are a wonderful color combination.michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14617050750444837628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234790858142513224.post-41370984341147566792010-05-06T16:53:21.853-07:002010-05-06T16:53:21.853-07:00Lilacs have so many memories for me.

Her birthday was May 1st and all of the family would come to celebrate, and I would pick a big bouquet and give them to her for birthday. Hmm - I really didn't get that I was giving her, her own flowers. Thanks for letting me go down memory lane.Donna Chapinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07114592153916457366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234790858142513224.post-39789835626434823482010-05-04T12:46:59.294-07:002010-05-04T12:46:59.294-07:00I was supposed to get married in May so I could ha...I was supposed to get married in May so I could have lilacs for my wedding. I'm now realizing I forgot to have a LOT of things I alway planned on having for my wedding. HOWEVER, January to May is a LOOOOONG time to wait to marry someone. Maybe I'll start planning my funeral instead now. I'm going to die in May and I want lilacs at my funeral.Calihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09948675971157619730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234790858142513224.post-17924868641326752342010-05-03T13:45:56.841-07:002010-05-03T13:45:56.841-07:00May I just come and sit in your yard and sniff the...May I just come and sit in your yard and sniff them?

I always think it's fitting they bloom around Mother's Day. <br /><br />I might need to go find a closer bush to snitch a few from, and fill our apartment with the heavenly scent.Deidrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01181514421028402144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234790858142513224.post-80264026072714387762010-05-03T05:39:25.277-07:002010-05-03T05:39:25.277-07:00How pretty.How pretty.Maddie Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15899395479716075518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234790858142513224.post-71927397172857856582010-05-03T05:10:10.002-07:002010-05-03T05:10:10.002-07:00I wish I could come!

I love the smell of lilacs and was despairing they didn't have them in Norway our first spring here and then my landlord Rolf brought me a bouquet from his bush! They smelled heavenly and made my whole day. Now he brings me some every year. I love that you have a whole row.

Ned cut down many of our old huge poplar trees as they were rooting in the lawn. What a loss! I have about 4 lilac bushes in that area, so thanks to you I will finish the rest with more lilacs. Thank you for sharing.Deanna/Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09570611927184750916noreply@blogger.com
