I love the heady fragrance of lilacs, and at the early hour I was out there, it was very intense. <br /><br />Vicki Lane, <br />Merisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781937797213521146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10964852.post-29156710540737535292010-04-29T09:01:19.965+02:002010-04-29T09:01:19.965+02:00In England the lilac is usually a blossom of the m...In England the lilac is usually a blossom of the month of May and for me represents the fullness of spring and return of welcome warm weather.

The photographs, music and poem are just perfect!<br /><br />I did not get to read the article in the NYT to which you referred in your message to me, but I have to say it does not surprise me!
