Both my lilac bushes, yes this is two bushes planted next to each other, are fully blooming this year. :)

oooh nice! Are they hard to care for?

[disneydream06]

No not really.
My problem was the Winter after I planted them, the deer nibble on them, and according to something I read that can stunt the flower production for years, and that's what happened.
I had lovely big bushes and no flowers for many years.
A few years back I started to get a few few flowers.
The last couple of years both bushes got a lot of buds, but the bush on the right barely bloomed any.
This year they both are covered in blooming flowers.
And I basically don't do anything to them. Just let 'em grow. :)

Lovely. Mine finished blooming this week. The wind took out the blooms on Friday.

Thank you. :)
I think the bush on the left is just past it's peak now.
I really need to get out and cut some to bring indoors. :)
