My mom loves lilacs. She’s always delighted when the lilac tree by the pond blooms, and a bit sad when it fades.
Since I try to understand why people I like like the things they do, I’ve come to like lilacs as well.
Which wasn’t hard. I’ve always had a fondness for non-standard flowers, ones with odd shapes or multiple flowers on one stem or the like.
And lilacs always show off so prettily.
This isn’t my mom’s lilac, just another one in the neighborhood. But the light is better on this one, so I get better photos.
Mom’s got a large garden, but has a limit to what kind of plants she can put in it. It’s a north-east facing garden under a large oak tree, so it gets partial sun at best. And I can never get the best flower photos out of her flowers.
But at least the lilac enjoys the partial sun, so she can have one of those.
