This is the lilac I planted last year. Lots of people told me that it probably wouldn't survive because lilacs thrive only in colder climates. Well, I guess it liked all the snow last winter. It's doing great so far. Still quite small, but it started out as just a twig. The only problem it has is that it was supposed to be purple, not white. But that's ok.
Happy and blessed Sunday to everyone.

The Lilac looks great, I hope it continues to thrive! I love them. I wonder if color is determined by soil like Hydrangeas?

I love lilacs. The first time I had heard of them was from a Nancy Drew mystery, "The Mystery at Lilac Inn". I found pictures of what lilacs looked like and have been hooked on them since! Thanks for the pic!
Hugs....

...All sparkling with dew! Fess Parker would be pleased!
May I take this opportunity to invite all the Blackberry Creekers to join me for a Moonlight Ridge contest? Y'all come!

So love white, purity. Lilacs will grow in most climate if taken care of. My favorite flowers/bush. We've had them in California, Washington State, Maryland ... Auntie grew them in Oklahoma, friend in Indiana. The aroma melts my soul. I have white lilac sachets that I tuck in everywhere.
Have a beautiful week ~

Add me to the list of those who LOVE lilacs! I remember the Fess Parker song (you can talk about your Clementine and sing of Rosalee ...) and I still have the Nancy Drew book.
I think the color of lilacs are determined by the type of lilac, similar to azeleas and their colors. Our lilacs are lavender and white.
Blessings and hugs!

Geez, coulda fooled me, I thought it was a hydranga! Lilacs are sooo nice. Hope yours smells wonderful!

There is such a thing as white lilacs, but this plant looks like a hydrangea to me. The leaf has the texture and shape of a hydrangea. Lilac leaves are smooth and smaller in size. No matter what it happens to be, it is pretty. I would recommend feeding it some Miracid fertilizer and it will probably take right off and grow a lot more!

Don't want to be a party-pooper, but I think that is a hydrangea from the look of the bloom and the leaf!
Enjoy it, whatever it is.

Looks like a hydrangea to me as well - there are so many varieties now that the Annabelle which has a gigantic round flower is not as popular as it droops so much. There are hydrangeas that have cone shaped blooms and maybe that's why it looks like a lilac to you. I'll bet someone switched tags at the nursery!!

I'm jumping on the 'I think that's a Hydrangea' bandwagon. It's lovely either way! And I thought I was the only one who still remembered the old Nancy Drew books! YAY! I'm NOT alone! Anyone remember the Donna Parker books?
