When I was a kid, my parents used to take me to the Royal Botanical Gardens to see the lilacs around my birthday. This year since I have been really paying attention to people's gardens & flowers I really wanted to head over to the RBG to smell some lilacs and go for a little walk. Ivan and I made some time this weekend to check it out.
Lilacs are just so pretty! My favourites are the ones that look like the are changing colour as they open. I really love the smell of lilacs but I don't like any artificial lilac scents like candles or air fresheners. There is something about that fake lilac smell that doesn't agree with my nose. Real ones though...so good!
I hope everyone had a good weekend!
How lovely! Flowers are my favourite thing to photograph - I was thinking about getting a few lilacs in my flower tattoo, the colours are always so pretty!

I just love lilacs! We have a tree in our backyard and it's easily my favourite thing in our garden. The only flower I love more than them is peonies. I really want to make it to the RBG some day soon
ReplyDeleteStunning pictures! The variegated ones are my favorite too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful lilac pictures! I wish we had a lilac bush. They're not only super pretty but they smell so good!
ReplyDeleteI feel the SAME exact way about Lavender. Hate fake lavender scent, but the real thing, can't be beat!
