Lilac

We have 2 Lilac trees in our garden. Both are just starting to bloom.

I was rather taken with this single flower open a few minutes ago when I had a quick peek in the garden.

Just heard the news about Donna Summer. R.I.P., disco diva.

Nice shot, great color, dof and bokeh.

Lovely bright colors and composition. The single bloom is pretty darn cool!

[Fanny Brogden]

Thats unusual...........I love the scent, just heaven! You obviously have a pedigree lilac!! Lovely shot

Fantastic - I must look out for some of these. Very sad about Donna S - she always reminds me of the Friday night youth club discos - dancing round handbags!
