Polly, I found part of an old list of lilacs that we made at AA while looking and smelling our favorites lilacs and it has a couple that you mentions. I am going to put together my choices this week and would love to have you help me get it down to a couple of early, and a couple of late and a small. No more than 6. We are heading up to VT for a week, so I will have time to do some serious pondering.

Hemhostaholic. I love my yucca, 'golden sword' which is suppose to be hardy to zone 4. It looks grand with the afternoon sun shinning through the leaves. It radiates, hopefully it won't take over the garden like the common one does, but I wouldn't be without it either. Here is the old standard in mid July. But once it is there, it is there forever, I fear. Dare I look up 'Color Guard'? Patti
