My lilacs are so late to bloom, I thought the freeze had nipped their blooms. But alas, they started showing color, and now are blooming! The north side is a little bare, but the south is glorious and so very fragrant! These cloudless sulphur butterfly had just started visiting my flowers! These lilacs were planted by my grandmother many years ago. They were mature when I was just a child. I can remember coming out with her to smell their heady fragrance when I was very small, pulling the blooms right to my nose to inhale deeply. I think I get my love of growing all things from her. I feel close to her in her garden, and hope she would love all that I've added though the years. Painting number 5148 in 5148 days.
