"Sensation"

I really like hybrid lilacs. I believe this one is called "Sensation". The sun was a little bright but the flower reminds me of a nice afternoon visiting an amazing garden centre so I'll go with this pic for today.

Many thanks for dropping by.

I really like the way the flowers and buds are combined. Lovely presentation and the exposure on my screen looks perfect. The colors are so gorgeous.

[Jennifer Ruge]

So pretty! I bet it smelled wonderful!

[Lyn]

What a beautiful lilac, Anne!

[Rona]

I've never seen lilacs like that! Really pretty, and I can just imagine the heavenly smell, especially with the warm sun on them :)

[Theresa]

Very pretty!

[Mary Lou]

gorgeous, great close up!

[☠northy]

oooh! is that what these are? there's some in our neighbourhood and i've wondered, because they look like lilacs, but don't quite smell like them :) this is very lovely!

[Rick Schies]

They look so full and healthy. Are they as fragrant as the others?

[karenann]

What a beauty ... gorgeous colors and clarity. I think that the old-fashioned lilacs have a stronger (nicer) aroma ... do you!?! However, I don't think that I've seen one quite like this hybrid that you shot here either.

[Beverly Carmichael]

Absolutely beautiful! Are they as fragrant?

[Allison Maltese]

That is quite an interesting lilac variety with the white edges. Pretty shot.

[Shirley]

a lovely twist on the usual lilac.....very pretty!

[Danielle Greenwood]

gorgeous!

[Dione Giorgio]

And this is a sensational shot, Anne. Beautiful capture, flowers and composition.

@karenann @digitalrn @carmichaelbev @northy @ronah @jenniferruge @sabanford thanks everyone! yes, i noticed the smell was not like it is for other lilacs, in fact i could hardly smell them at all but at the time, i just thought is was me with my sinus problem! lol

[Christie Hicks]

I too love lilacs. The colors and scent just can't be beat.

[Beverly Carmichael]

@sunnygreenwood - It seems when they hybrid flowers, they lose their scent. Roses come to mind. I love the beautiful lilac in your picture but wouldn't want to give up it's wonderful scent.

[Juanita]

Oh that's so pretty. Great closeup. Husband had rearranged some of the garden and I intend to get a Lilac for one spot.

[summerfield]

[Carolyn White]

They're beautiful! I would love to have some of these!
