Masterful lilac

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

Lilacs have been cultivated for over 500 years and during that time they have evolved into many varieties, each with its own shape, scent and colour.

Many countries around the world celebrate Lilac festivals, during which you can see numerous flower displays and enjoy the fragrance of the flowers.

In Washington and Illinois, annual lilac festivals are held in May. The same festival is celebrated in Michigan, but only in June.

Many romantics appreciate lilac flowers for their pleasant fragrance, but not everyone knows that they contain toxic substances. If you sniff them for a long time, they can give you a headache.

When one smells the sweet fragrance of the flowers, it is clear that summer has arrived. But this belief does not always work, as Hungarian lilacs have no scent.

Preparing a special ointment from lilac flowers will help cure rheumatism, relieve pain and heal wounds.

Lilacs can cope with temporary drought, however, in order to prevent the roots from drying out, it is necessary to water the shrub in time.
