Syringa (Lilac) is a genus of 12 currently recognized species of flowering woody plants in the olive family (Oleaceae), native to woodland and scrub from southeastern Europe to eastern Asia, and widely and commonly cultivated in temperate areas elsewhere.

The genus is most closely related to Ligustrum (privet), classified with it in Oleaceae tribus Oleeae subtribus Ligustrinae.

Lilacs are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Copper Underwing, Scalloped Oak and Svensson's Copper Underwing and Saras.

Lilac or Syringa is a member of the oleaceae (privet) family. Like the privet which has smaller panicles of white flowers, they are highly scented and very attractive to insects, especially butterflies.

Lilac1 is the common form whilst 2&3 are doubles with a deeper colour I Have an almost crimson form which is acutting from a bush we had in the UK but it is still a baby.
