It’s a purple kind of day. It is not a gloomy deep purple mood, but instead, the bright lavender of the Boomerang Lilac that has put on quite a display in the side-yard. This is not a sprawling bush, but I hope it grows a few feet taller than the 3.5 to 4 feet it is now.

The flowers smell slightly of Lilac but do not envelop you in scent when you approach as I had hoped when I purchased it. This variety’s charm is that it is supposed to rebloom in the summer.
A few Iris buds, some Vinca Vine in a lovely shade of Periwinkle, and sprigs of Wisteria are included. The vase is a small watering can I bought years ago because I loved the sparrows on the front.
This post is part of this week’s In A Vase of Monday (IAVOM) hosted by Rambling in the Garden.

Love your lilac bush. I can’t believe the number of blooms. I haven’t been able to get mine to bloom in the 5 years I’ve had it. What is your secret?

I wish I knew, then I could use it in other areas. It is a pretty little thing.

It is a nice variety. I put in another this year, and it is different, but beautiful in its own way.

I managed to miss your link last week, sorry. Personally, I like the relative compactness of your lilac – can’t believe how many blooms it has though! What a sweet little posy you have made with it – and it’s good to see that thuggish vinca can be put to good use!!

Thanks so much…it is sweet. Yes, the Vinca is exuberant in my outer yard borders. I appreciate it’s tenacity.
