We’re still at daffodils and narcissus. It snowed here Friday morning (“just enough to track a cat,” as a longtime weather forecaster used to say) 🙁

What great color!

I have filled the house with them, the scent is fabulous. Have a wonderful Sunday xx

Ah, yes, they are everywhere, in so many shades of … lilac. And white. My mother used to put lilac cologne on my hair after washing it when I was little.

We are still enjoying the wafting scent of daphne odora, but lilacs are soon to come. The blooms you photographed are particularly lovely and, I imagine, deeply fragrant.
Thank you for this harbinger of Spring in the still-cool but more often sunny Pacific Northwest of the U.S.! -
I love lilacs, too. Not many lilacs in Sacramento, but there is a bush about eight blocks away. I need to stop by and breathe in ideeply. We are in the midst of orange blossom heaven. I step out the kitchen door and the scent is intoxicating. Spring is here!

I used to live in an old farmhouse with very old white, lavender, and deep purple French lilac bushes surrounding it How I miss that scent!

With very large, very old lilacs in my yard, I await spring’s full arrival. The visiting seed eating birds are feasting on last year’s blossom memories and just this morning as I sit at my desk there is an opening of the green leaves, pushing forth from their tightly held buds. Oh soon, so very soon purple, lavender and white lilacs will fill the sir surrounding my home. Your wonderful photo reminds me not to give up hope for blossoms as the early morning snow is melting.

The lilacs bloom early in France…Corey, what is the name of the beautiful pink flowering trees that are in bloom right now? I love their color!
