Next to my parents property in the alley next to a large old two story house, is this lilac bush. It is a very red one, compared to the violet or light violet variety. I have looked hard to find a sprout that I could fine that would give me this bush so I will order it out of a catalog.
Indoors with a flash it has a more violet color. I brought home a low branch of the bush. When I first bought my property, I was out one spring morning and a neighbor lady was trying to collect a bouquet off of the back side of the one on my property. I didn't care at all but she was trying so hard to not let me see her. I guess the few years that my property sat vacant that everyone helped themselves to the rhubarb and anything else that was blooming. I will try to get off the spring bloom kick next time but this was easy pickens.

Well I have been enjoying your spring blooms!! This Lilac is lovely..which one do you think it is? Can you try to stick one of the new green shoots into the ground and see what happens? The young green shoots will often root.
A new lilac called Yankee Doodle is supposed to be one of the darkest out there. Frank Klager is another dark one.:)
I'm enjoying the spring blooms very much. This variety is really pretty.
