  1. Very nice! I love lilac but did not realize they can do well this far south. But then, you are a little north of me. How long has that lilac been in your garden? It is a beauty! Also love the kerria!

    1. This the first one that has survived for more than a season for me. A nursery owner in the area said that it was a new one better suited for the South.

  2. Beautiful! Gives me hope that we will get there, too, in a couple of weeks.

  3. I think the Mohawk viburnum photos are my faves from this batch.

    Do the Mohawk flowers attract any pollinators? And does it produce any berries for birds?
