Description

Remembrance of Long Ago by Lucinda Walter
A neighbor planted a lilac bush here in the desert of Arizona. When I discovered it I was thrilled as we had a hedge row of these wonderful flowers in Minnesota. Even though the bush is very small this year I was able to get a photo of this gorgeous bloom. I stood there for several minutes welcoming the beautiful fragrance, remembering the hedge row in a time long gone and a wonderful sign to spring here, even in the Arizona Desert.

Textures added to give this wonderful flower a very special look.
************

It's easy to find lilacs and lilac bushes in North America. They seem to have always been in America, but actually are not native to the continent. They originate in Europe and Asia. European colonists first brought over their beloved lilac bushes to America in the 1750s. Lilacs are not only beautiful, but incredibly fragrant. Some people prefer the scent of lilacs to that of roses.

What Does the Lilac Flower Mean?
The lilac flower has many meanings, but most are related to expressing love or affection:

In Victorian times, giving a lilac meant that that the giver is trying to remind the receiver of a first love.
Lilacs can also express confidence that the giver has for the receiver. This makes lilacs a good gift for graduates.
A sprig of lilacs, especially white lilacs, symbolizes innocence.
Etymological Meaning of the Lilac Flower
In taxonomy, lilacs have their own genera called Syringa. So, for example, the common lilac is known as Syringa vulgaris. The English word lilac is stolen from the French and Spanish word lilac. Arab and Persian also has a remarkably similar word - lilak. The granddaddy of most European and Asian languages, Sanskrit, had a similar word nilah which means "dark blue" as a color and not necessarily as a flower. All of the other words for lilac are thought to have derived from nilah.
