I have lilacs!! I grew up with lilacs in practically every house we lived in. I remember my mom bringing them into our home, putting them in vases around our house, and loving to breathe them in! In our first home in Banks we had a tiny lilac plant. I think the first year we had 1-2 flowers. I have about 10 lilac plants in my yard now, a few of them are quite a bit taller then I am. I filled my kitchen with them this last week. They are a lovely reminder that Spring is here and Summer is on its way.
I love lilacs as well! They are one of my favorites… I can't wait to have a home so I can plant some of my own!
Next year we'll have to plan an Oregon trip during lilac time to see yours! Dad has planted lilacs for me in every home we've owned (as you know). He planted 3 when we moved here 3 years ago and a dozen or so more last year. They have a few blooms coming soon but I can't wait 'til I can fill the house with them again…
