January 19th, 2013: Common Lilac 'Sarah Sands' (Syringa vulgaris) by Todd_Boland
Love the color!
It is gorgeous.
Before enlarging the photo, I thought it was a butterfly bush , set of blooms arranged to look like a butterfly.
Lilacs always bring back the scent of my Grandmothers lilac hedge on the north side of her house.
They do smell so wonderful.
Wow, isn't that gorgeous!
