Ly-lack, Ly-lock

I say ly-lack. I say Portland is the best place to live if you love lilacs because it's so close to the best place to find lilacs.

Hulda Klager Lilac Gardens
115 S. Pekin Road, Woodland, WA

The four-acre garden hosts a festival and plant sale every year when the lilacs are at their peek, which is April 18 - May 10 this year.

In 2004 I bought this Michel Buchner lilac at the festival. It's a lovely bluish lavender with a strong fragrance. Kept in a pot for years, it was planted in the backyard last year and is already showing lots of buds.

Perhaps it needs a friend? See the website for more information.
