Ode to…Lilacs

May 26, 2011

Tis lilac season in western South Dakota — finally! Easily one of my favorite times of the year, with all the bushes heavy with blooms ranging from white, to pale pink, to the deepest amethyst. I need to get out in the sunshine and steal pick some.

    I’m normally not a fan of purple, but I’m reconsidering that because the flowers are beautiful!

    I love Lilacs. We have 3 purple and 2 white in our yard. The sad part is I’m so alergic to them that I can’t even prune the bushs, much less pick them and bring them in the house, (they smell so amazing) so they stay on the bush and I look just get to look at them. 🙁

    Thank you Lorelei! My Lilacs are just starting to bloom in Wisconsin. After our horrible cold spring, they are a welcome sight and food for the freezing hummingbirds in our front yard!

    Beautiful. I was sad after mine bloomed this year for I knew it would be the last year. I can remember planting it with my granny when I was around 11 or so. For the last three years a section of it has died, this being the last.
    And Karen is right mine bloomed at least a month ago.
