Description
There is not a more beautiful beacon of Spring than a lilac shrub in full bloom. Lilacs are one of the most fragrant flowers and their aroma is sweetly nostalgic. Lilacs in the United States date back to the mid 1750's. They were grown in America's first botanical gardens and were popular in New England. Both George Washington and Thomas Jefferson grew them in their gardens. Lilac bushes can live for hundreds of years. Lilacs originated from Europe and Asia, with the majority of natural varieties coming from Asia. In Europe, lilacs came from the Balkans, France and Turkey.
This lovely lilac shrub is in my mother's garden in Nebraska.
