I am absolutely enamored with this photo by Elizabeth Messina. A bouquet of lilacs wrapped with a rope of pearls-what could be more beautiful?My parents' home has an enormous lilac bush, and growing up I loved to place an enormous bouquet of them on my bedside table; now the smell of them reminds me of my childhood bedroom. Does the scent of lilac (or any other flower, for that matter) remind you of anything?
It does, it reminds me of the house where I spent most of my childhood, my parents also had two huge lilac bushes and we would pick them and put them in little glass cups around the house :)
ReplyDeleteOh my parents also had lilacs! I always thought they were beautiful!... They also had a jasmine tree and every time we move (if we are not in the tropics) I try to buy one because its smell reminds me of home :(
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day, friend!

Nothing makes me think of spring like the smell of lilacs. So beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThis is so perfect. Lilacs remind me of my childhood, too.
ReplyDeleteGrowing up on the farm in Canada I had a big lilac bush outside my bedroom window. I always knew when it was spring because the birds would come and sit in the tree outside my window and within weeks my room would smell lovely from the lilacs blooming on the tree.
You've taken me back!

Lilacs remind me of sun-drenched kitchens on summer mornings with open windows and stacks of pancakes. Sweet childhood nostalgia.
ReplyDeleteI love lilacs so much! I wish I could bottle their scent and spray it everywhere.
ReplyDeleteAnd that's so cool you went on your first date to see chamber music. Me and my husband did that for our second date. They played Bach, I think...
what a beautiful picture. the beautiful scent of Boxwood shrubs reminds me of my parents home.
