I have to tell you that gives me quite a visual! Pretty funny!

OK, so if you wanted to name a plant after me, you could call it a
Morrissyosis or Kittyana, or by Zem's definition a Hootiana. So, was Lewis
a syringa? Did he play a panpipe?

That is terribly confusing to non-Idahoans, Judy.  You are saying



they



use



the botanical name for the genus of Lilacs as a common name for a



Mock



Orange?
And... if they named it after a guy named Lewis, then why isn't it



called



Lewis? (or Lewisia to make it even stranger)?  Was his name Syringa



Lewis?

Mock orange. Syringa, Idaho's state flower is Philadelphis
lewisii,


named



for the explorer who found it here. I noticed this morning that



newly



opened



blooms on the single are more fragrant than the older blooms.

Judy, are you talking about Lilacs (Syringa) or Mock Orange



(Philadelphus)?

I have 2. One I bought as a "native" syringa. They lied. It is a



lovely



double, but not what I wanted at the time so it got chopped,
ripped



out



&



moved to the far SW corner of my property, full sun. It has



never



grown



tall



again, but is getting wider, blooms profusely & smells heavenly.



The



other



is a local syringa, Philidelphus lewisii, single like the ones



in



the



woods



and smells even better. Sucker from one in a friend's yard. It



is



on



the



east side full sun most of the day. Wish I could send you some



of



the



perfume. Want to try a cutting?

Kitty,
What did you do to get it to bloom?  I have had one about 25



years



ago



that



was wonderful... huge, smelled wonderful and bloomed every



year.



I



have



tried now for 4-5 years to get one to bloom but never have had



one



bloom.



I



moved it this last fall and it lived but still no blooms.
I moved it into more sun so I thought that might help.

We were supposed to get rain Fri-Sat-Sun, none so far except
Thurs
overnight.  I spent about 6 hrs in the garden yesterday and
got



a



few



things
done.  While looking for spaces to tuck things in, lo and



behold,



my



Mock



Orange was blooming!  No fragrance, but at least it bloomed.
It's



a



sprawling, leggy thing with little to its credit, so it may



still



get



yanked
someday.  But after trying for 15 yrs to get a Philadelphus



to



flower,



I



did
derive some pleasure from this one blooming in its third



year.

Thanks to Rich's rain dance..  we had a good amount of rain



last



night



so
weeding will be easier.  Hey anyone want some very invasive



BAMBOO!!!??



Have



to go cut some down..  No I wasn't the one who  planted



it..



the



owners



before



me did, and my guess is they knew nothing about  gardening.
