    What a lovely display your phlox makes Barb. My lilacs are just coming into leaf so it will be a while before they bloom like yours. I do soooo love the scent of lilacs in the garden. :-D

    Very pretty. My Lilac's should be in their glory in a couple more days. I can't wait to smell them and bring a few inside :D

    My lilacs were so pretty this year. I was sorry to see the blooms fade. There is one beside the walkway and another beside the driveway (and two more) and I stopped to bury my nose in a bloom every time I passed. Mmm. The scent is heavenly.

    B, that looks wonderful there. The lilacs and phlox are gorgeous.
    They all look so good I can almost imagine that I can smell them.
