Lilacs
French lilacs in bloom (May '06)
"I am thinking of the lilac-trees, that shook their purple plumes, and when the sash was open, shed fragrance through the room." (Anna S. Stephens, from The Old Apple Tree)
"When lilacs last in the door-year bloom'd,
And the great star early droop'd in the western sky in the night,
I mourn'd--and yet shall mourn with ever-returning spring."
(Walt Whitman, from Leaves of Grass)
And the great star early droop'd in the western sky in the night,
I mourn'd--and yet shall mourn with ever-returning spring."

Are you trying to pick up chicks?
It works for me!
LOL Certainly not! These are from the lilacs I planted behind the house four years ago. The fragrance blows in through the back windows if the breeze is just right. I love nature and gardening. Mix nature and gardening with brandy and classical music on a warm spring day and all my cares and worries are forgotten.
Besides. I'm a bit old for 'chicks'.
Beautiful.
