"When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd..." is a lovely poem by Walt Whitman (1819-1892.) He is a much-loved American poet who celebrated Nature in many of his extensive works.

[Abraham Lincoln]

Very pretty. My lilacs are not open yet.

Thanks very much, Abe. With your Lilacs yet to come, I'd say that you have something special to look forward to. Enjoy! Be well, Les

what a beautiful close up of what is one of (I think) the most fragrant of all flowering bushes. I love lilacs and this is a wonderful close up of them.

@kdrinkie Once again, thanks so much, Kim. I really worked at finding a bloom that had open flowers AND buds. As for the fragrance, I agree; it is sublime. Just another simple example of how Nature does it best. Be well, Les
