Lilac time!!! *updated (2 new pics on #18)

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I have been having the best time taking pictures of my lilacs as they open. They are almost open. I hope they hurry up because, while it's in the 80s here today, by Wednesday it will be cold with lows below or near freezing. I hope my lilacs don't get frost bit! :eek:

They are lots prettier this year than they were last year. Could it be because I talk to them? ;) :D

You are way ahead of us for season, I didn't realize that ntil you posted. My lilacs are just developing the buds still!

Beautiful, I love the blue flowers.

So beautiful. Can't wait for mine. Here today in Ohio it's about 65, tomorrow 75 and by Friday opening day for the Cleveland Indians, we are expecting snow.

These pictures are just gorgeous. You are way ahead of me with your lilacs. Mine are still tightly budded. Keep your gorgeous pictures coming! ;)

[lv4dogs]

How beautiful! I can't wait for mine to bloom (it'll be a little longer though lol).

I can just smell them now. Oh you're so lucky!

[BitsyNaceyDog]

They are gorgeous!
I miss lilacs so much. When I was a kid we lived in New York and we had a hedge row of Lilacs, they smell so wonderful.

i just love lilacs and wish i had several bushes here.......i adore wisteria also....both are just sooooo fragrant!!!

[Daisy and Delilah]

Thanks for sharing those gorgeous flowers. We don't have lilacs here in Florida. I don't think I've ever seen a real one. Your pictures are professional quality :)

I have wisteria. They do really smell good :D

[elizabethann]

Wow, Lilacs already? They don't arrive up here till May. They're my favorite flower in the whole world. I can actually smell them as I look at your beautiful pictures. Thank you so much for sharing them!

I think the scent of lilacs is the best scent in the world. Too bad they don't last too long!

MOFF goodness, your pictures are drop dead gorgeous! You can almost reach out and touch them and smell their fragrance.

Wow Connie, these are amazing pictures! It will sure be awhile yet before our lilacs are blooming. The leaves are just starting to bud on the two bushes out back. It is one of my favorite scents (along with lavender). Just looks so green and lush, the flowers so rich and wonderful!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Thank you all! You've quite turned my head with your kind remarks.
SO...
here are two more pictures. These have raindrops dripping from the flowers. I love flowers with raindrops for some reason. :D
Enjoy!

[NoahsMommy]

OOooooohhhh!! They're so pretty, Connie!!! How I love Lilacs...I don't that I've even seen a lilac bush here....do they grow in CA, Gini?? I'll have to see if Mom will put a Lilac bush in the garden, I know she'd love the results. Wow!! :)

[cyber-sibes]

Thanks for posting your pictures, they are so pretty! I just love lilacs. There were huge bushes of them at the house I grew up in. Now I have a small one my sons gave to me, but it won't bloom for a while yet. That cold spell hit here today, so I'm kind of glad that it isn't blooming yet. Did you take some cut lilacs inside before the cold hit? They smell soooooo good!
