Unsurpassed lilac

Temporary spring drought is not terrible, but if it drags on, the plant will need watering.

Lilacs bloom beautifully and for a long time on a shrub, but when cut, they quickly lose their freshness.

Lilacs are associated with good luck omens: if you find a flower with three or five petals and make a wish and eat it, it will definitely come true.

Lilacs are named after Siringa, the goddess of joy and tranquillity. One has to assume, quite justifiably.

Lilacs belong to the olive family. The same group includes jasmine, ash and olive.

According to one ancient belief, this flower indicates the length of winter. If the lilac blooms, it means that the cold days have passed and winter has receded.

According to one legend, the lilac bloomed when spring chased the snow away from the meadows and lifted the sun high above the ground.
