Description
Lilacs are one of those "old-fashioned" shrubs that will always have a hold on my heart and my memories. My grandmother and my mother both had beautiful, traditional lilac trees growing outside the kitchen doors - what a perfume, what beautiful flowers!

I was just photographing a white lilac today...in my neighborhood while waiting for my pink lilac to open its many blooms. This is so dramatic on black. Have you ever looked at a book entitled "The Paper Garden" by Molly Peacock? A surprising book.....all with black backgrounds..... f/v
Carol Senske replied:
I need to go look up that book - it sounds lovely! I have a tiny lilac tree that my son gave me last year. I coddled it through the winter and now it is leafing out beautifully - about one foot tall. It began life as a shoot beneath a large tree and they are hard to deal with; I'm so tickled this one survived and is making itself a strong and determined plant:>)

My deep appreciation for you wonderful *'s and comment, Val!!! The *'s remind me of Zazzle - LOL.

I hope you will photograph the tiny tree when it is in full bloom! Nice story.
Carol Senske replied:
It will probably be so tired of me photographing it that it will stop blooming! Apparently they are cranky about being transplanted and survival is questionable but this one did survive:>) I feel so fortunate! Now to nurture it, coddle it, talk to it (singing would be cruel and unusual punishment so I'll just talk).

My son gave me a tiny lilac tree last fall - so tiny I didn't dare plant it so I set the pot in the ground, mulched the heck out of it, and it has BUDS!!!!! I'm so ecstatic that it survived:>)
