Lilac (Syringa vulgaris) 紫丁香
You can see them everywhere in spring and you can smell their beautiful, powerful fragrance in the breeze! It is a shrub but in nurseries you can find so called ‘standard’ (tree form) for small garden. Best in full sun location. Very hardy and easy to propagate from green wood cutting or seeds.
With good care, it can flower twice in a year! Once in spring and once in fall.
春天到處可見可聞到乘風而來的芬芳花香! 它是灌木或苗圃會訓練它做成樹型,很適合小花園. 全日照為佳. 非常強健也很容易扦插新枝條或種子繁殖. 照顧的好可一年開春秋各一次花.
beautiful and the scent in the wind smells to me like a little scent of heaven.
I agree! 🙂
I love lilacs but they don’t grow well here in Santa Barbara. I was in Michigan one spring and the lilacs were so spectacular. I’ve never smelled such a lovely scent!
Unless in cool mountain otherwise Santa Barbara is kind of too warm for lilac.. 😦 But I am glad you had chance to experience the fragrance and flowers of spring lilac! 🙂
Drove by a whole bunch of these yesterday, the smell was amazing!!!
I love lilacs too.
Who doesn’t? 🙂
Thank you for liking “Odd Blooms." I agree that lilacs are wonderful flowers. I enjoy seeing and smelling them when it is spring. I did not know they could bloom in fall too. Nice post! 🙂
Thanks!
