Thank you for visiting, Lilac friend! I have heard people say “Li-lock” – in California people called them that. Here in the Midwest most people say Li-lack – no wonder the poem seemed weird to you! I’m going to pop over to your site now – thank you for commenting.

Anne with an E would agree how romantic the scent would be.(Anne of Green Gables of course 🙂
Here in the Finger lakes region of NY most of us near Rochester pronounce Lilac as liLOCK. I smile as I write to you of my confusion of your poem. I just couldn’t figure the ack out!! Anyhow, I’m glad you enjoy Lilacs, however you may say it! We here at Lilac Farm have over 70 planted and counting. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. You popped up on my Lilac Alert through Google. God Bless!
Smile-ack 🙂

The whole house smelt wonderful! The other thing that I REALLY love at this time of year are bunches of poppies and cornflowers, which I can buy at the local farm. They don’t last long, so don’t cost very much, but I wait with such anticipation for them every year and get huge amounts of pleasure from them.

It sounds like your home is a soothing place to be, Ganeida….

We’re too far north & it’s too hot for lilac. I grow things inside. I have ivy in a hanging pot in my kitchen, ficus growing up my walls & across my ceiling & cooktown orchids sprouting in an old blue wine bottle. I don’t grow many flowers. Most of our yard is big trees but I will bring anything natural in: pebbles from the beach, shells, flowers, pretty pine cones….
