President Lincoln-Lilac

[L Verge]

I love lilacs and was always going to get married in May so that I could use daffodils and lilacs as my flowers! Decided on September instead, darn it....

My deep purple, French lilac just finished blooming. It puts the regular lavender variety to shame. Off to google the Lilac King.

P.S. Lilacs were a favorite of the Victorians, and many a path to the outhouse was lined with lilacs to cover the odors! Just spoiled that thought for you, didn't I? They also grew high enough to obscure the view of that charming little facility.
