Lilacs at last [View all]

I have been nursing several lilac bushes for 5-8 years, nothing. They looked healthy but never bloomed and I was really getting frustrated.

I was out looking today and they all have lilacs, mind you very small yet but they're there.

I had made comment to husband a few years ago that I hoped to see them bloom before I died, hope this isn't a sign.
