Re: shopping

I have a "Miss Kim", but it is way in the 'back forty'. Find the Japanese Tree Lilac interesting, but have not been inspired as to a place for one. Have never seen a cut leaf lilac. Never heard of the 'Josee Lilac' do you have further information!

That's true, but someone gave me a whole bank of them and I was thrilled
because it created a great screen for free. Over the years they've present
pros and cons, but the mildew isn't bad and, to me, having at least one is a
critical garden requirement.

Now, I'm sure you've been talking mainly about Syringa vulgaris, Cathy. But
there are other Lilacs. My Josee Lilac blooms 3 times a year - supposed to
be 4, but maybe it needs to get older. Then there's the Cut-Leaf lilac and
the Afghan Lilac. I agree, no fall color, but wonderful texture. Besides,
fall color looks best when there's some green around providing contrast.

And, though I sounded negative about the lilac's fragrance, I was being a
bit sarcastic. I enjoy the fragrance, but this year my lilacs seem to all
be putting on a much heavier bloom than usual and the fragrance is extremely
potent.
