Lilacs

Posted on June 4, 2020September 19, 2021 By Jonathan Edgerton


Of all of the different lilacs we’ve accumulated over the years, my favorite remains the blush bloom on the right, known as the Beauty of Moscow.

June fourth and the lilacs still aren’t fully in bloom….how crazy is that. Still, they’re open enough so that you can smell them as you walk about the lawn. Can you tell that we like to be able to mix colors when filling vases?

There’s nothing quite like the scent of lilacs, and we’ve somehow accumulated nearly twenty varieties over the years. I’d be hard-pressed to pick a favorite, so combining a mix of them into a single vase seemed logical.
