My heart is joining yours in song. Lilacs are one of my favorite flowers, and usually bloom during my birthday, the first week of May, so I consider them a special gift each year! ....unless this is wisteria?
Nothing like the sent of lilac to ring in springtime. We have lilac near our deck. The flowers are anxious to open.. we just need sunshine. We are expecting another cold snap with snow in the foothills this weekend :(
Wisteria is lovely. I highly recommend visiting the Gamble Garden in Palo Alto. They have a courtyard with about 8 standard wisteria trees. In the summer, with the bees humming around them, they smell like blueberry & bubblegum. It's an amazing fragrance.
We had some wisteria growing near our rental cottage (that we lived in when we first moved out here.) It was somewhat hidden, but I loved knowing it was there. Wish I had some here!

ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not, that lavender color is about the same as the trim on my white house! Everyone seems to like it too.
ReplyDeleteI can just imagine how wonderful it smells, too. Guess what...I'm wearing purple and white today! heehee!

ReplyDeleteBut still a great shot.
