Wow, that is close up! I would not have known it was a lilac! Isn't it wonderful to have June flowers and know that we really did survive that tough Canadian winter?

@ninaganci @mona65 @yeshanghai Thanks you ladies, these are one of my favorite flowers. I'll make sure to photograph them once they open. :)

@lbingle365 Thanks Lisa and I'm so happy winter is over. I'm surprised we are going to have lots of lilac blooms this year, as the bushes were under 6 feet of snow at different points this past winter.
