Lilac

I have always loved lilacs.  I think they bring back memories of childhood.  We always had a very big purple lilac in our yard when I was a child. The fragrance of the blossoms filled the air in the spring. The very first plant I planted when we purchased this house almost 9 years ago, a lilac.  I could not find one with purple flowers, so I got the white.  They are in full bloom now, the spring breeze is full of their scent. I am brought back to my childhood, and I am happy.

This is my lilac bush outside my kitchen window (you can't really see the window anymore).  When I planted it, it was only one branch.
