Lilacs

Just two weeks of their glory

Lilacs blooming in front of a Cabbagetown house

This is about the time when lilacs are in bloom. It is surprising to see how many homes grow these lovely bushes. There are a couple of weeks of whites, dark purples and lavenders blooms which leave behind a trace of their perfume as we walk by them. It is hard not to pluck one of these floral clusters, even in public parks. But, I never do. Better let them stay for those few weeks for everyone's enjoyment.
