Those lilacs I promised you...

Or, in other words, more floral picspam!  Life is still a little big wonky for me, but you have to take time to smell the flowers!  (Or at least take pictures of them.)

Beautiful pics-especially the lilacs. One of my favorite flowers.

Thank you... lilacs are just about my favorite as well. I love the aroma!

They are lovely. Mine aren't out yet.

Thank you!

Our lilacs came out about 3 1/2 weeks early, so normally they'd still be blooming now but instead they finished up almost 2 weeks ago!

Very pretty, the flowers and the butterflies, the leaves too. What are the flowers called?

[cairistiona7]

The purple ones are the lilacs, the spring leaves in the photo under the butterfly are oak, the white flower below that one is a type of wild rose, and the last white flower is called dogwood, Cornus florida, which is native to North America. It's also our official state tree in Missouri. :)

Thanks! I thought the purple ones are lilacs but I wasn't sure :)

Edit: I just noticed the subject title of this post *facepalm*

LOL! I do that all the time. I tend to read too fast and reply before what I've read actually registers with my brain. *g*
