The one doesn't get as much sun as it should now, since the trees all around it have grown so much, but the other one grows nice in full sun. They are very fragrant. I bought them, because I was looking for Persian lilacs, which I couldn't find. I had a Persian lilac fragrance from Crabtree & Evelyn by that name and it was wonderful.

I'm on vacation in Europe, which started off with a weekend in Washington, D.C., and now we're at the tail-end of a whirlwind week in the UK. I'll be so glad when I get to Denmark, where I'll visit my family and nor move around from one hotel to another every few days. I've brought some hand-piecing to do, and I really miss fiddling with fabric!Charlottahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03654576015036728600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-48572541061773660032015-05-22T15:05:33.502-05:002015-05-22T15:05:33.502-05:00I would say you DID get your fresh air and exercis...I would say you DID get your fresh air and exercise!
