Very pretty, I don't guess I've ever seen a lilac before. Thanks for sharing these and for all the comments on my posts.

Lilacs in Yucaipa? That surprises me, somehow. Yours are lovely and you can almost smell them from here. I can see it now: A patio edged with lilacs, a sunset and a petite Syrah. I'm so there!

LOL, Petite syrah sounds good to me. My wife tells me there are over 20 different varieties of Lilacs. Glad you enjoyed them Lindy.

Well, generally the southern ca area is kind of ugly in my opinion. We have planted a lot of very pretty things in our yard and it pays off. Glad you enjoyed them Sheriliz.

And didn't they bloom so well. The colours are just gorgeous Fred and the detail is stunning. Your yard must be looking beautiful. Your work with these is right up to your usual excellent standard mate.

Jake.
