Lilacs and Lupins

Lilacs and Lupins beautifiy 

the ditches and countryside

  at this time, in the Gaspé,

and the Maritime provinces,

here in Canada.

(There are different spellings for

Lupin, also lupine.

I use the shorter one).

My large Lilac tree is very old.

Planted by the previous owner.

I also have a white young Lilac tree

  I planted a few year ago.

It grew quite fast. 

This is the second year it gives flowers.

A nice fragrance.....

My opinion is that the white Lilacs

are the most strong perfume fragrance. 

I brought some inside to enjoy

Lupins

I threw some seeds in the ditch yrs. ago,

and they keep coming back.

Lupins reseed each year.

They come in a variety of colours.

 

Also bicolour

My favourite colour is purple and yellow

Pure pink

Peach and Yellow

Double Pink

I wasn't aware of a white one

until I look at this photo.

So I went back and took another photo of it.

I've never had a white one before.

Some wild phlox are growing with them also.

I made a collage of some Lupins.
