The Stillroom

This is a Persian lilac and it is the most fragrant of all the lilac bushes. This took quite some time to bloom and this is the first time in four years that it flowered. It started out super small and I had all but given up hope that it would actually catch on bc we were slow to plant it and then after planting it decided we had to move it to a better spot the next spring. Either way, the individual florets are super tiny and look very different from the purple ones we are used to and it is a late spring bloomer. We planted it closer to the patio so the scent can be enjoyed! The other thing is that with the white flowers, it could be part of a moon garden. That means the plants are more visible at night!
