Lilacs sometimes don't grow well here, especially the newer ones, but the older, what I call the original one does. I never thought I liked lilac scent until I smelled the real thing! My icebergs (Roses)are blooming like crazy now, the smell is honey warmed by sweet tea. I've planted a lot of new daylilies and many of them are fragrant. They're sending up scapes now, should be blooming the first of June. I can't wait to smell them! I'll try to get a good pic of the icebergs soon.
