Just think. For months and months of cold, dark, dreary Chicago winter, the buds of these flowers were waiting to come out and surprise us with blooms. I thought it was an ugly bush that just attacked my hair every time I went to get into my husby's car. But no. No, my friends. It is a well-developed take-no-prisoners LILAC plant. I was so excited that I allowed the little tiny bugs that frequent lilac bushes to get all over my hands while collecting some stems for my new watering can container. This is a big deal. I think about bugs and itch for an hour. But, every time I found a little bug on my hand, I just looked at these fragrant lavendar blooms and smiled.
