The east coast lilacs have a beautiful fragrance that we just can't find out here on the west coast. Next week I make my annual visit to Descanso Gardens to enjoy the many varieties of lilacs that grow there. It is always a wonderful experience.

It is wonderful that you are growing so many different plants in your garden. I made notes about the varieties of lilacs that do well in a warm climate, since I would love to grow at least one, too. <br />Christinaorganicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791015846743839791.post-76048151310389029082012-03-24T12:38:30.460-07:002012-03-24T12:38:30.460-07:00Thank you!

They are modest, floppy, airy shrubs, perhaps 8' tall if one is lucky. There is an estate garden in the area, maintained by horticulturalists. They have collections of everything, including lilacs, and even their shrubs are not exactly Mashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15996950576326655813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791015846743839791.post-52715510137101304112012-03-24T12:32:41.129-07:002012-03-24T12:32:41.129-07:00Your lilacs look like a dream!
