Lilacs! \o/ I love the smell of lilacs. We had this huge bush outside our garage at the home I grew up in. I was always bummed that the cuttings we brought down with us would never grow.

We've got a lot of clay here, too. We'll see how they do. If they fail, I can redo the soil next year and try again.
