Lilacs are hard to grow here - you really have to work them...bags of ice around the base throughout the winter, etc....so I don't do that anymore, the lilac vine is the closest I can get to that show and color!

Nothing else blooming right now except a couple of my miniature roses....the bearded iris bed had been cleaned of debris and after rain stops today I have to get out and pull weeds that are taking over a gravel area!
