I thank all of you so much for your quick replies! I did check the plant, and it is still alive because the branches are soft and bendable. I scratched off a little bark to make sure it was green underneath. I guess I'm just impatient. (Maybe I should buy some of those, ha ha) My pansies are blooming like crazy in the front yard, but I just wish that lilac would soon bloom so I could see what it looks like. Patience Susie, patience. ;- ) I just love lilacs and I'm hoping that the reblooming kind are the same as the regular ones. Does anyone know? Oh, by the way, I live in southern NJ. I think that is zone 5???
