We all have things that make us happy.
And I have more than a few.
But this time of the year, my happy is----lilacs.
Their smell.
Their look.
Their imperfections.
When the flowers are closed.
When their flowers are open.
I love them.
Many times I have dreamt of having a wedding surrounded by lilacs.
I remember cutting them and bringing them to school for my grade school teachers.
They make me happy.
Therefore,
I completely agree with you. I love lilacs. The light and dark purple color and the smell. I have also thought about having lilacs as my wedding flowers.
ReplyDeleteOmg, lilacs & hyacinths have THE BEST smell ever! No other flower compares, haha! They're my favorite!
ReplyDeleteI think its all spring flowers in general. They all make me happy. Tulips and toad lilies are my fav, but all the lilacs, forsythia, crocus, daffodils make me smile. We paid lots for out of stock tulips to be in my wedding bouquet. It was a non negotiable budget doesn't matter item :) Thanks for the beautiful pics to brighten my morning!
ReplyDeleteI love lilacs too! They are my absolute favorite. My parents have a bunch of lilac bushes all the way up their long driveway & it smells amazing at their house when they are blooming!
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful! I love the container you placed them in. Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI have a thing for ferns. I love big hanging ferns from a front porch. I can't wait to buy some soon. :)
They really are lovely! Such a beautiful start to my day. Thanks for sharing your happy.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, Jaime...I love love love lilacs, too...in fact, the town I grew up in was nicknamed "The Lilac Village" - they had a whole park filled with them - Lilacia Park. I LOVE their fragrance...I love the colors...I love the flowers...
ReplyDeleteMaggie where is this town? I think I need to go there and take in the sights and smells!
DeleteSoon the lavender beauties will fill my air with scent, and maybe my kitchen too.
