I love all the old-fashioned flowers you're talking about here. Our lilacs won’t be ready for a while yet so I’m pretending to smell yours now!

I looked all over last week for a place I could safely steal a bouquet, got them home and then couldn't stand them in the house because they were TOO fragrant. (As they are some years.) And G'ma Ridnour's entire back yard was irises with about a ten foot strip on the south of it given over to other flowers. I brought starts of Lily of the Valley when we moved here. They are doing well. Perhaps you could take some home with you and try again? As for the huechera - the one I bought last year (Dolce Peach Melba) after your recommend is doing great. But the Coral Bells of Mom's I transplanted here is going crazy. Maybe you should take one of hers home with you, too. May!! Yay!! Oh, I’m so happy for you(r)lilac blooms.
