Mother’s Day Lilacs

Lavish, lavender lilacs… the intoxicating fragrance takes me back to my childhood. My grandmother had an enormous lilac bush in the yard (At least to this little girl, it seemed enormous). Each year I’d watch and wait for the explosion of color. It usually peaked at Mother’s Day; the perfect time for gathering and gifting. I’d pick a bunch and rush them home to Mom. Still today I gather and gift lilacs for Mom but now, I visit the florist and add a few more favorite blooms. Lilacs and tulips and roses – mmmmmm….. Mom will love this!
