A few days ago I went for an early afternoon walk and was delighted to find so many
varieties of lilacs in bloom. The colors were amazing. All were a magnificent proclamation
of spring!
I had never seen pink lilacs on my walks in past years. So I was delighted to come
across them now. So very delicate and beautiful. I also think they are very romantic...
The lavender lilacs are so traditional and beautiful and the scent is heavenly...
I am always intrigued by the two-toned lilacs...
I think the white lilacs hold a special place for so many of us because they are so sweet
and lovely...
And, the royalty of pure purple and a divine scent...
Wishing you a wonderful weekend with bunches of lovely lilacs...
Enjoy a wonderful weekend!

and My Romantic Home
If I had to pick and why should I? I pick the white ones. Have a terrific weekend. Thanks for your faithful comments. Hugs, Olive
ReplyDeleteOh-each one is just more beautiful than the next. These are my very favorite Spring blossom. I wish they lasted for months! xo Diana

These photos have made my morning! :D ALl of them are gorgeous, but I agree that the two-toned ones are truly special!
ReplyDeleteEvery shot is beautiful - but those two-toned lilacs are really special.
ReplyDeleteI think that lilac is my favourite spring bloom. Ours are not even near to blooming yet, but when they do, I open the dining room window to let the perfume waft in.
Beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteI love each and every one of these!
Pink lilacs are so sweet! But then they all are! So many varieties...
Happy Pink Saturday!! ~Lorraine ♥♥♥
Loverly lilacs, milady! My favorite and how many varieties you have found in walking distance! Love the two-tone, too - I've never seen one before!
ReplyDeleteJoy to you!

Soooo beautiful
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful show you put on today.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful varieties of lilacs! I swear I could smell them as I strolled through the pictures!
ReplyDeleteOur lilacs are not out yet and the bunch of blossoms are very puny. :( It is our strange weather, I am sure. Way too warm in March and then cold, raw and windy all through April. Poor flowers don't know if they are coming or going!

Lilacs are so beautiful. I wish we could grow them here. The two toned ones are pretty, I've never seen those before. Happy Pink Saturday.

Oh yes, Those two tone Lilacs are call Sensation..we have them along with 12 other lilac varieties..The pinks could be called Maiden Blush as we have them too. My husband is a Lilac Crazy man..You should see a white double floret called Beauty of Moscow! Not two to a stem but 2 florets to a bud! BEAUTIFUL as all heck..
ReplyDeleteI am trying to grow my first lilac..it is all of 1 foot high and has been for nearly a year...I dont think I am very good at growing them. I can almost imagine the divine smells of the ones you found.

This gives me a good Monday morning start! Thank you!
Warmest greetings,

Susan~ I love, love, love lilacs! I can practically smell their wonderful fragrance as I scroll thru your beautiful photos! We can't grow them here, but I found some last year a Trader Joe's and was thrilled!
ReplyDeleteLove lilacs - so beautiful :)

I can only imagine how Divine the aroma was during your walk down the Lilac Paths!!!!!! I wish Lilacs thrived in the Desert... their scent is Heavenly and they are such Beautiful Flowers.

Really beautiful Susan!!! I've never seen the two-toned purple before they are quite lovely. With so many varieties to choose from I say, just pick them all. Lilacs reminds me of my father bringing in a large bouquet for my mother such a precious memory ants and all. :)))
ReplyDeleteHappy May Day!
Hugs Rosemary...xoxo
Funny, I was just
ReplyDeletedreaming, today, of
what type of lilacs
I would plant in my
yard, if I could.....
We have the Miss Kim
lilacs that bloom a
bit later, but they
are sort of wimpy in
comparison to the
good, old-fashioned
variety!
I just took Gracie out
a few minutes ago and
crossed the road to
smell my neighbor's
heavenly LILAC lilacs.
That smell brings me
right back to first grade
and carrying a bunch
into school for the teacher : )
Happy Wednesday, Susan!
xo Suzanne
Gorgeous! Thank you for joining me at Home Sweet Home!

Hi Susan.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for your lovely comments over at our blog, glad you've come along for the adventure.
Your Lilac pictures are wonderful. I'll echo the lovely Karin to say that my favourite are the white and dusky purple two tone Lilac. How lucky you are to live in an area where your neighbours have planted such an abundance of sweet smelling Lilac.
Warm regards.
Paul
Hi Susan!!
ReplyDeleteOh I absolutely ADORE lilacs!!! Where did you see such beauties? Do you have them in your garden? I'm trying to find out where I can get something like this to plant - we just moved into our fixer last summer, and this is our first spring here, so trying to cultivate our garden or at least figure out what I want (even for next year). :) Wishing you a most delightful week - these images really made my day!!!
Hugs,
Jessie
Oh yes, I'm a MASSIVE fan of lilacs. So gorgeous and so fragrant. Yum!!
ReplyDeleteSarahx

ReplyDeleteOh my, such beautiful photos of lilacs! Each one is gorgeous and I can almost smell them. Lovely post, thank you.
