My parents live in Michigan. Lilac bushes eight to ten feet tall grow around the perimeter of their property. It is a wonderful thing when all the shades of lavender, purple, and white bushes bloom. The smell is unbelievably beautiful.
I have seen lilacs here in Oklahoma. In fact, I took this photograph in town. But I have had no luck out here on the farm.
I planted shoots from Dad’s bushes and tried to help them get established. One year there were white and a deep purple spray on the same bush. Not the right soil, I guess. It leafed out nicely every year and it strained to produce some blossoms, but we were disappointed.
What’s Good About Home! 
sister Frances would be in allergic reaction. What is that called? Highly allergic to lilac, but aren't they soooooo pretty?
