Today's flowers, to add a touch of pretty to your day, are lilacs. Can you smell them from here? Yet another cold-area flower I adore {sometimes I think I'm living in the wrong climate - but perhaps I live here so I can appreciate them more?}. Lilacs remind me of walking down the main street of Berrima in the Southern Highlands, and excitedly reaching over to sniff every blossom on every tree. They come in such an amazing range of colours, but my favourite's this one - a purple with a tinge of pink that just whispers lilac.Do you have a list of fave fleurs? Here's mine:
♥ Peonies
♥ Roses {scented only need apply}
♥ Violets
♥ Lilacs
♥ Lavender
♥ Violas
♥ Pansies
♥ Love in a mist
♥ Scabiosa {ugly name - pretty flower}
♥ Wisteria
♥ Lily of the Valley
♥ Stocks
♥ Snapdragons
♥ Parrot tulips
♥ Gardenias
♥ Hyacinths...
And I'm sure there are a few others I've forgotten. Many of these are growing in our garden, making my heart sing every time I step out the front. How about you? Tell me yours...
