I’m not the “rose type”. Sure I appreciate the flower and it’s many varieties, I just don’t like them as a fresh cut flower. If you really want to win me over, it’s the Lilac that does it. Of course, I have to be difficult right? I couldn’t love a flower that blooms for more than a couple of weeks in the spring / early summer…. Nope, it has to be the lilac.
Luckily our yard has several large bushes of light purple lilacs that smell wonderful after a fresh rain. If Tide could bottle that scent, I’d buy stock.
This warm and muggy morning I got up determined to bring that fresh scent indoors and in an attempt to capture the memory of my favourite flower, I took some photos too!
Enjoy!
