I have fond memories of lilacs growing in both my mother and grandmother's gardens. At Granny Haworth's it was a big bush by the gate, later flowering in the South Island, it would be in bloom in November when we went up for visits.

THE LILACS ARE FLOWERING.
Every morning Paul has been looking out the bedroom window and telling me the lilac is flowering.... he has been saying this since the first few buds appeared. It really is flowering now and with bad weather threatening I have had a good reason to pick myself a bunch. The scent is heavenly when you walk in the room.

After a very very slow start this year it has developed into a nice shrub.and rewarded us with a fine showing of flowers.

The Lilacs are beautiful!
Oh, how lovely, Lee! I'm so jealous--our days are becoming grayer and drearier as we head into the end of October. Enjoy...
