Lilac by rhoing

Lilac

Not in the greenhouse, but just in our backyard (on yet another low-frame day). The same plant as from this shot last year — http://365project.org/rhoing/365/2012-03-26
I really liked the greens and purples. Family Oleaceae (same family as the familiar yellow-flowering forsythia), but I am not even going to hazard a guess as to its species. (Genus may be Syringa.)

Now that's what I'm talking about. Spring is here.

That looks lovely and I bet it smells great as well.
