I love flowers.
I love that certain varieties of flowers all bloom at the same time every year.
{Here in Minnesota, Lilacs bloom in May}

This year the Lilacs were about a week late I think, which is most likely because we had a looooong winter.
{California dream'in}
One of the first things we planted in our yard, when we moved here in 2002, was a row of Lilac bushes.
They were only a foot high then, but we imagined that one day they would grow over 10 feet tall and provide a private little corner on the side of our house, right next to a neighborhood path. Nine years later, the Lilacs are way over my head.
{and I'm pretty tall}

Not only are Lilacs beautiful to look at, but their fragrance is heavenly. In fact, when you first walk into Rose Mille, it's the smell of French Lilac soap that everyone loves so much.
Peony's are next!
