<< My mother in law's lilac bush was producing fewer and fewer
 flowers each year.  Last year, after it finished blooming, I
 pruned out all of the dead wood, removed any crossing
 branches, and , most importantly, cut off just about all of
 the spent blooms.  This spring, that lilac bush is
 absolutely gorgeous!!!!! It is loaded with blooms and is
 absolutely beautiful. >>

Lisa, all of this may indeed improve a lilac's bloom.  On the other hand, all
lilacs were fabulous in our Zone 6 this year because of the incredible spring
weather we had.
