When we owned our house we had a huge lilac bush in our backyard that was probably planted in the 1920's. Half was white and the other half was purple. There are so many around here that when they bloom you can smell them everywhere. Thank you @ladyrebecca! Spring has officially sprung. : )

My Grandma used to have one in her garden... and lots of lilly-of-the-valley.
Back then you could buy all sorts of garden flowers at the market, but these days most florists sell imported flowers, like roses which don't smell of roses anymore...
It's sad that people don't plant as much as they used to. The house we last lived in was almost 100 years old and had raspberries, lilacs, grapes, and a lot of other perennials. The grapes were a smaller variety (like muscadine) that I've never tasted anywhere else, they were delicious. Where are the imported flowers from in your region?
