The lilacs bloomed

I thought the blooms on this 2 year old lilac had been nipped by the several nights of freezing weather and frost we've had in the past month. But these are blooming well and smell wonderful.

the scent must be wonderful.

So terribly jealous, that you have lilacs, and even more jealous that they look so beautiful. Whenever I smell them, they take me right back to my childhood.

I tried to start a lilac bush quite a few years ago and it almost worked. They do smell heavenly! Pretty shot.

@onewing It's nice, but I have to get down low to smell them. The bush is about knee high in all.
@Dawn Thank you Dawn.
@grammyn My mom had a lilac bush that was wonderful. Every time I rounded the corner to go to the back door, I'd have to go past it. I tried planting a sucker down here (she lived in PA) but it didn't live. I think this particular shrub must be one that can tolerate the higher heat of this area.
@olivetreeann Thank you Ann.

Always pretty and they smell lovely. Nice capture.

[Kathy A]

Very pretty and I can imagine the smell

[JackieR]

Mine died and suckers are growing elsewhere, no flowers yet. Wonder if surviving suckers don't thrive. ( Goggles but "suckers" gets off results!)
Lovely colour tone

Love the heady aroma of lilac

[Wylie]

I thought at first glance it was a rondeletia - they do smell divine.

[haskar]

I still have to wait a bit. Lovey smell!

[Susan Wakely]

Oh so lovely. I can imagine the smell.

[Renee Salamon]

Beautiful, such a pleasure to have one in your garden

[PhotoCrazy]

[Margaret Brown]

So pretty, lovely capture, it’s a bit too early here yet, mostly it flowers in May

Thanks to all of you for your Lovely comments regarding the lilacs and the scent.

[Pyrrhula]

Great capture of those lovely Lilac flowers. A pitty you can`t send the smell of them.

[Mickey Anderson]

Pretty, my tree is loaded with Blooms but still a few weeks here!!

[Mary Siegle]

Mine is blooming too. I can almost smell yours through the photo. Very nice!

[Kathy]

@pyrrhula Thanks Ferry. They do smell nice.
@brillomick Thank you Mickey. Enjoy!
@mcsiegle Oh wow Mary. Your's is probably a big shrub. Started too late for that here. Perhaps before I die...

[Chris Cook]

Lovely. I can almost smell them from here

[Kathy]

@cdcook48 Thanks Chris.
