Gorgeous! And the shirt is cute,
too...
It's not
spring until you smell the lilacs
Is there a word that defines the
experience of smelling something that reminds you of something from
years ago? Many customers have remarked on the scent of lilacs
in connection with a fond memory of a former home, a grandmother, or
simply spring.
We are proud to introduce the new 'Josee'
lilac, a re-blooming variety that grows 4'-6' tall with
lavender/pink flowers. It puts on a big show in spring, then
blooms sporadically for the rest of the season until frost. It's a
moderate to fast grower and prefers full sun, but will bloom
admirably in part sun. Think of it as a bouquet machine!
Also, now in bloom at Sugar Creek:
Dwarf lilac 'Miss Kim.' In addition to its spring blossoms,
'Miss Kim' has nice fall color and is mildew resistant.
The re-blooming Josee
Stop in and smell the flowers!
