Hi Maryvonne, thanks for the kind words and I wish you good luck on the deer..they have been the bain of my existance the last few years. last night they tore the net off a couple of my containers and ate either a Helvola or Aurora and a Perry's baby Red!!!!
Doubble S that is a Lilac TREE. They were very common ~ 15 years ago, but never caught on. They typically bloom ~ 1 month after regular lilacs (on the left in the picture). I have not heard of a regular lilac getting 30' tall!
