Today's cover shot is a Fritillary Butterfly that showed up while I was planting my new annuals. I think she might be a couple of weeks early but I'm not sure because I've never kept track of their arrival. The Fritillary is very common to flower gardens throughout most of the U.S. and Southern Canada and is a distant cousin of the better known Monarch.
Mariposa - My Master Gardener friend says the Reblooming Lilac is a new hybrid engineered to bloom continuously from Spring through to the first frost of Fall. But, she says they don't always work the way they should... depending on location and climate. The regular lilac gives you only a short-duration bloom in the Spring. She didn't have any information on whether the smell is the same for both versions. Good luck with yours. It will be interesting to see how it does for you. My Lilacs are the old fashioned ones... purple and white.
I would have been happy with an old fashioned lilac. I took what I could find in my price range. One place was asking fifty bucks for a lilac, I think that was a bit too steep.
If you knew someone with a bush you could have just dug up one of the new trees that come up from the roots.
From what my M.G. friend said, the reblooming ones either do very well or are a total bust.... depending on soil, location and climate. It'll be interesting to see how yours does in that tough Ohio weather but it should do well since they are selling them there.
