*these lovely petals are part of a wonderful new hybrid of lilacs...if you look closely, you can see that they are not purple; they are ,in fact, BLUE. Wedgewood to be exact. I am catching them at the end of their very short bloom life, but they are spectacular! I wish we hadn't had rain all week or I would have pulled them into the house before now... However, better late than never, and now my kitchen smells divine!
