Buffalo Area Lilacs

Spring in Western New York is a great time! One of the things I missed while living in Florida was Lilacs! I don't know if I remember seeing so many lilacs or if I am just aware of them because it is the first time in 20 years that I have experienced them for days. They are everywhere, outside my bedroom window is a bush that was planted by my grandmother, and in almost every yard as I head to my office. They are on the side of the roads, and even in shopping centers. Just another wonderful reason to live in Western New York!

Colleen I have a Lilac bush in my back yard, and boy do the bees love that bush when it starts to bloom :)

Colleen, ours are in full bloom here too. Gosh one right outside my home office window and the smell is delicious. I have a white one too that reallys smells good. I know my friends in TN can't grow them either too hot, but here in MI they are a favorite. Great show.
