My lilac bushes are abundant in blossoms. 
I thought I'd bring some of that beauty and aroma indoors.

of the branches so that there is more surface to drink up the water.

You just can't beat a homegrown bouquet! 
Love the smell of lilacs. I will have to try your "hammering" tip. My lilacs never seem to last very long after I cut them. Sounds like this might help.
ReplyDeletegreat idea!!! Thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteLove your bouquet!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteNot only can you NOT beat a homemade bouquet ... but a homemade bouquet of LILACS, well, that's just PERFECT!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your lilacs. We have a large bush in our yard but the frost got it so we do not any flowers or aroma. I miss it.
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful boquet. I am so allergic to spring flowering bushes and found darling pussy willows to place on a table but would love to find some artificial, but real looking lilacs. They so bring back memories of my Grandma!
ReplyDeleteI love lilacs! So looking forward to planting some in my yard really soon.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. My absolute favorite scent. Mine are finished blooming already, boo hoo. I posted a link on Monday to your front door Dollar Tree poppies. Thanks for the inspiration!
