Does anyone remember the song ? (Ivor Novello)
"We'll gather lilacs in the spring again
And walk together down an English lane
Until our hearts have learned to sing again
When you come home once more"

A lovely melody.
But..... I would never ever gather lilacs as I was brought up to believe that would bring bad luck - and even more if lilacs were taken into the house.
So my white lilac is left to grow and flourish, and look beautiful with no one chopping bits off her. She just gets shot with a camera occasionally :)

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

I've never heard of that superstition about bad luck. We have lilacs on the north and south sides of our back yard and miniatures out in front, and every spring my wife clips some to sit in a vase on the dining room table. That way we get that terrific smell in the house 24/7.. at least until they poop out. The diffused lighting in your photo allows for an incredibly delicate representation of these buds. S&F.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.

My mother used to have the garden full of lilacs when the windows were open at night the scent was overpowering great capture here's a link to the song Ivor Novello "We'll Gather Lilacs" Marion Grimaldi

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
