Lilac

Dan planted my Lilac today; it was a leaving gift from a friend, when I left work. I have been dithering about where to put it, but decided that if it was beside the gate to the vegetable garden, we'd pass it a lot in Spring and get the benefit of the lovely scent.

The variety is Syringa x Josiflexa "Bellicent", which has fragrant, clear rose-pink flowers in May and June.
