I too love lilacs! My favorite color is the dark purple however their fragrance is not nearly as spectacular as the lavender color. The white are spectacular and pop with their brightness. I share your love of lilacs.

This made me so deeply nostalgic for the same reasons - smelling those lilacs through my childhood window is one of my most treasured and intimate little memories that’s all my own! Thank you for giving me some happy little tears this morning 💕

Yes, yes, yes! They had lilacs at the Ballard Farmers Market on Sunday, and I was so delighted to bring a bunch home, even knowing they wouldn't last long.

I love lilacs so much, and miss the days of sleeping with my windows open. I don't do it nearly as much anymore due to loud city noises at night. The cicadas were especially calming. THEY'RE COMING SOON. A great read, as always. Thank you <3
