This LILAC is from California, where they don't grow so great and plentiful, like they did back in Illinois. I remember at my house in LaGrange the whole length of the driveway was a hedge of lilac bushes. Oh I miss that smell....
Born in South Carolina, raised in West Texas, spent my teens, up until I was in my 30's, in Chicagoland. Met my husband, got married and moved to California. We had two kids, bought a house, and we're living happily ever after with a dog and cat thrown in for good measure. All that stuff in the middle, is just icing.
