Lilacs (Syringa vulgaris) have burst into bloom this week and collecting a vaseful is one of my biggest spring delights. Burying my nose into those scented blossoms is delicious aromatherapy!
Adding a tiara of white bleeding hearts (Lamprocapnos spectabile alba) only adds to their charm. A few trimmings of ninebark foliage (Physocarpus opulifolius) provides support.
But that is not the only vase in the house delighting the olfactory senses… a handful of lily of the valley (Convallaria majalis) has me smiling every time I pass by them. A few violets (Viola sororia) and a slip of ninebark jumped in as well.
