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.

      Dear Sieglinde, We have had an unusually mild Spring...Have never seen so many beautiful varieties of lavender and in full bloom.

    I was away for some weeks, so almost missed the lilacs. They are so fragrant and beautiful! Last photo of the Poppies and Salpiglossis is soooo very beautiful!!!

      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.
