A Lilac Bloom - Preston

Today it was a perfect spring day in Melbourne, so I decided to take a walk. My journey took me past a high fence over which I could just see the top of a tall lilac bush.

 

Syringa, commonly known as lilac is a genus of twelve currently recognized species of flowering woody plants in the olive family, native to woodland and scrub from southeastern Europe to eastern Asia, and widely and commonly cultivated in temperate areas elsewhere.

 

Spring has finally come to Melbourne, and everywhere, gardens are bursting forth with beautiful coloured blooms in a profusion of colours after a wetter than usual winter.
