Our yard in Duluth Minnesota when I was growing up had lilac bushes and I have always loved lilacs. We have some in Albuquerque but they bloom when we are on our spring Camino, except for this year when they bloomed before we left.
We have seen lots of them along the way. A few times I have seen the rarer white lilacs which is always a thrill. Here we have the white and lilac colored together.
We were passing by some white lilacs this morning with a guy tending them. I pointed and said “blanco” and he said “white” and then said “15 days”. They do have a short season.
We were still home when our lilacs bloomed this year. More blooms than I ever remember seeing!
