Lilacs (and Tulips) of Lombard
Lilacs are one of my favorite flowers, both fragrant and fleeting. Every spring, I go on a orgy of flower-sniffing. There's a park near us that's filled with lilac bushes and tulips. It's one of our traditions to visit it every year. Last weekend was rainy, and this weekend I was sick. However, I was determined not to miss out on the bloom peak, even if my stuffed nose isn't up to appreciating the wonderful scent. Here are a few pictures from yesterday:

With that many plants and flowers, I bet the smell is everywhere.
Pretty 🌸
Sorry to hear you were sick last week.
How's the weather up there? It can't be too chilly now that the blooms have started.
It was a little harder for me to smell them, Alex, but I leave no flowers unsniffed.
Thanks, Pat!
It's still chilly at night, Maria. We can get frost until mid-May.
