The conditions this spring have been favorable for a good Lilac bloom. Our house has 70 year old landscaping, and I have encouraged and maintained the height of the lilacs in the yard as well as the hedge around the back yard and garden. They smell wonderful.

And, some violas.

Ours got nipped by a late freeze, so I guess it'll be another year before my next chance to enjoy the flowers and their wonderful smell.

They are not lilac, their white! Seriously, nice pix, thanks for sharing!

I really miss the scent...

They are my favorite flowers. The scent is heavenly. I hope they are still blooming when I get back so I can "borrow" a few to make my truck smell really good. Glad you posted pictures of yours.
