Lilacs are one of the most popular cut flowers, probably because they smell so wonderful but possibly also because they are here such a short time. Lilac bushes flower once a year and are in bloom for only a few weeks. Cut lilacs are usually available from mid-April through mid-May and are grown in northern California.
Stop by and pick some up. Don't put it off or they will be gone and it will be another year before they return!
For more information about the history of lilacs, check the Arnold Arboretum website.
