Lilac and tulips

Before the lilac bush lost all its blooms I made a couple of arrangements and took lots and lots of pictures.

Here is the first simple bouquet: 3 lilac branches and 5 purple tulips in a vintage white milk carafe.

And it turned out I was not the only one who enjoyed the smell of lilac.

Lilac

The garden changes every day, every minute, every second: leaves are getting bigger, flowers are opening up, new plants are popping out.  Today I spotted first lilac flowers in our front yard.  I can't  wait to bring several branches inside and fill our living room with the sweet lilac smell.

And it's hard for me to believe that only a couple of days ago all we could see were tiny flower buds:

Still, they are so tender and beautiful

More lilac freshness...

I am seriously contemplating an idea of planting a second bush:  a white one, or maybe a darker purple one, or one of those beautiful pink-ish ones?
