In Which We Admire the Lilacs

Lilacs are admitted some of my favorite flowers -- but that's probably got a lot to do with the fact that purple is my favorite color. ;-)

"The lilacs are in bloom. Forget yourself." -Marty Rubin

"Lilacs are May in essence." -Jean Hersey

"Strive not for the beauty of raiment, nor for stately dwellings...behold the lilac." -L.E. Modesitt, Jr.
