Lilac Buds



The colors in lilacs are amazing. Cultivars are grouped in seven color families -- white, violet, blue, lilac, pink, magenta, and purple. Ed has collected lilac shrubs in several colors at Graywood Farm. The spray photographed for today's post is from the largest lilac on the farm, the Lena Henke tree, that anchors the courtyard garden. I've added a touch of watercolor to bring an ethereal nature to this close up of a plume of lilac buds.
