Gee Connie I didn't know that either. I've never really looked I guess or maybe its because I always shear off the dead blossoms before that happens. Interesting though, hey?

Oh how lucky you are! I love Lilacs but don't think I can grow them here in Florida. I am going to find out though!

Yeah maybe take a few years to flower but growing your own lilac from seed seems worth the wait don't you think? Must be more aware of my own.

Lilacs won't grow in this part of the South. Crepe mytles are referred to as "Lilacs of the South" but in my experience they don't have the scent.
