Syringa Patula

Finally, my Manchurian Lilacs have bloomed!

This is the headiest, most intoxicating and addictive scent I've ever experienced. It's been over an hour since I took these pictures, and I still get a little dizzy just thinking about it.

I'm not exaggerating. I seriously wonder if the scent isn't literally intoxicating.

When I opened these these pictures to size them for this page, I could smell them all over again. Whoosh, what a rush!

Here are a couple of shots that almost show the whole bush. I've only had this bush (actually, two of them) for about 9 months, and it's approximately two feet tall. I take very good care of these babies.
