Mein Sonntag Strauss


Lilacs

So prolific this year.

Lilac "Sensation"







Unlike Lilacs, Iceland Poppies and Salpiglossis last more than a week in water.

Wishing you a great week ahead.

    1. Hello Janneke, The lilacs will bloom for a few more days. They were spectacular this year. Often they freeze. Poppies are amazing. They look so delicate yet they are very long lasting. Thank you for stopping by.
