Lovely flower, but also what a magnificent blue sky - past couple of days have been glorious up here - like summer - looks like you have had the same.

Common lilac, which is rarely grown in its basic fragrant lilac-pink form, was introduced from the mountains of South-Eastern Europe in the 16th century, and has since produced numerous varieties, many of them similar to each other. Among the supreme few, this old and still popular double white is one of the loveliest and most reliable. It has good fragrance and flowers profusely, the neat compact heads of creamy yellow buds opening early in May to make a fine display of glistening white. Plants are usually grafted on S. vulgaris rootstocks. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it their prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM).

I just found out I have a lilac tree in the garden. I haven't paid it any attention for years and I didn't know what it was. It hasn't ever flowered, but there are buds on it this year.
