We had huge lilac bushes in the back yard when I was growing up. I remember their strong fragrance and how I loved to cut the flowers and bring them inside. I even remember bringing them to school for my teachers.
We now have huge lilac bushes on our property today, and I still love their fragrance and delicate blooms from spring into early summer.
They seem to go well with one of my ironstone soup tureens.
What do you think?
I played with some Picmonkey effects because my iPhone is not taking very good pictures since the iOS7 update.
Is there a flower that you associate with your childhood?
Lilac bushes are actually from the olive family, and they attract butterflies which I absolutely love about them.
What are your favorite fresh cut flowers?
Well, that's it for today, friends!
