I love lilac. It's got such beautiful flowers. Delicate petals, contrasting with green leaves, strong scent, a great scenery and a feast for senses. Looks great in nature and in indoor decorations. Adds character to gardens and interiors.
A fragment of Walt Whitman poem:
"In the dooryard fronting an old farm-house near the white-wash’d palings,
Stands the lilac-bush tall-growing with heart-shaped leaves of rich green,
With many a pointed blossom rising delicate, with the perfume strong I love,
With every leaf a miracle—and from this bush in the dooryard,
With delicate-color’d blossoms and heart-shaped leaves of rich green,
A sprig with its flower I break."
