There's just something about lilacs. Their scent brings a flood of memories for some reason. We have two large lilac trees (one cream and one purple) and I look forward to them blooming every Spring. Do you have any fond memories associated with Lilacs or with their beautiful scent?
Beautiful photo! I love lilacs too, there is a lilac tree growing in my Grandmother's garden and when my siblings and I were little we had a 'coby' (a place we used to play house!) under neath it's branches. When I see these flowers every spring it always brings back lovely memories to me :)
ReplyDeleteThese colours are so beautiful and so vivid, I really can smell the lilacs, eventhough I am far far away, in a little European country. @Eadaoin: your comment remembers me of my own childhood and that's such a good and strong feeling :)
ReplyDeleteI also love lilacs because of their beautiful aesthetic, their lovely scent and memories attached, as you mentioned. My grandparents had a huge purple one that hung over the corner of their big balcony. I used to sit out there, under the lilac tree. I also used to skip rope on that balcony quite often, facing the tree of course =)
ReplyDeleteI so love lilacs ... my grandmother had a beautiful bush of them and they always remind me of her.
ReplyDeletelove lilacs and the sweet smell. reminds me of our first home we bought in Pennsylnvania were they grew in the side and back yard :)
