Last week for Helena’s meme, Pairs, I had three photos because I couldn’t choose. This week I have just one photograph with both bud and flower. I love the lilacs in Highland Park. They are just beginning to pop out, but I think I like them just as much when they are budding as when they are in full flower.
You really can’t tell the exact color the lilac will be from the bud which is a different hue. Both are lovely.
beautiful colours – I must go to see the lilac in a neighbours garden while it is in bloom
great to get both open and closed in one shot…
my lilacs haven’t even got past the “I am not sure if I will have any flowers this year” stage…I have a really late-blooming type of lilac
Beautiful pair!
Absolutely beautiful Karen. I love lilac, particularly the dark pink colour.
Such pretty shades, and the capture against a darker background really makes them stand out …
I love lilacs, too! And I’m afraid I’ve missed our “crop” this year – I think they may’ve bloomed when I was in Oregon. These are lovely and your photo does them great justice. Thanks for the treat!
Cheers~
I was just telling Jay last weekend that I want a lilac bush. I miss them. My Mom used to cut the blooms and bring them in the house in the Spring – they were so fragrant!
Clever to get both in one picture. Very pretty.
I love lilacs and can’t resist wandering over if I spot one. Such wonderful colours and hopefully scent too.
Gorgeous!!
