Well I'll be

 My Japanese Tree Lilac has blooms!  This is exciting because this is only the second time in 26 years!

See one bloom toward the center of the photo. 

There are more very high in the tree.

  1. Neat! I had to look up the name of that since I am not familiar with it.
    Our town has planted these along some of the streets and I had no idea what they were.
    Now I know!
    Neat!

    Do they grow very big? The ones in town have been pretty 'showy' when they blossom.

  6. Oh wow! Such a rare occurrence is very exciting. Makes you wonder why...what has been different the past year or the year it bloomed last time. So cool! :)

  7. Wonderful to see it bloom after so many years without blooms. This is the first year in quite a few that the mock-orange bush that my mother gave me from her yard has been full of flowers. It was almost smothered by a wild honeysuckle bush which is an invasive species around here. I finally got the honey suckle cut out of it. Now to keep an eye on it so the honeysuckle doesn't return.

  9. I haven't heard of that species either. It must like the weather.

  11. I've never seen or heard of a Japanese lilac tree.. Interesting. does it have great perfume aromai like our regular ones? 26 years is a long time to wait for something to bloom!!

  12. Yes it has some aroma like lilacs, the blooms are a creamy white. I have no idea why it has only bloomed twice in 26 years. Sunlight maybe.

  18. Every once in a while there is a very stubborn plant. You fixed it. You waited this guy out.
