Lilacs

This spring, I couldn’t wait for our heritage lilacs to bloom. It seemed to take forever! All my friends, had beautiful sweet smelling blooms but not me. Here, on the lake, with the ever present cool breezes, growth seems to slow down. My neighbours, up in the Northumberland Hills saved the day by sharing there’s with me. Our guests appreciated being greeted by large bouquets of fragrant lilacs. Just when those lilacs had past their peak, mine finally started to bloom. Wow! We had more that a month of lilacs to enhance our home. Next the Irises added ambiance and I now I can see the lilies are ready to bloom.
I can’t forget all those other perennials that I enjoy from coral bells to lupins. Everything, except the lilacs, seems to be blooming earlier and taller. We are hoping that the groundhog will ignore trimming our hollyhocks so we can watch them grow too. Come visit us and share our gardens!
